A Hubble Space Telescope Search for r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Gamma-ray Burst Supernovae
J. C. Rastinejad, W. Fong, A. J. Levan +23
The existence of a secondary (in addition to compact object mergers) source of heavy element (-process) nucleosynthesis, the core-collapse of rapidly-rotating and highly-magneti…
JWST Observations of the Extraordinary GRB 221009A Reveal an Ordinary Supernova Without Signs of -Process Enrichment in a Low-Metallicity Galaxy
Peter K. Blanchard, V. Ashley Villar, Ryan Chornock +18
Identifying the astrophysical sites of the -process, one of the primary mechanisms by which heavy elements are formed, is a key goal of modern astrophysics. The discovery of the…
Three-Dimensional General-Relativistic Simulations of Neutrino-Driven Winds from Magnetized Proto-Neutron Stars
Dhruv K. Desai, Daniel M. Siegel, Brian D. Metzger
Formed in the aftermath of a core-collapse supernova or neutron star merger, a hot proto-neutron star (PNS) launches an outflow driven by neutrino heating lasting for up to tens of…
Jets from neutron-star merger remnants and massive blue kilonovae
Luciano Combi, Daniel M. Siegel
We perform high-resolution three-dimensional general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations with neutrino transport of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers resulting in a long-l…
GRMHD simulations of neutron-star mergers with weak interactions: r-process nucleosynthesis and electromagnetic signatures of dynamical ejecta
Luciano Combi, Daniel M. Siegel
Fast material ejected dynamically over ms during the merger of a binary neutron-star (BNS) system can give rise to distinctive electromagnetic counterparts to the system's gr…
Three-Dimensional General-Relativistic Simulations of Neutrino-Driven Winds from Rotating Proto-Neutron Stars
Dhruv K. Desai, Daniel M. Siegel, Brian D. Metzger
We explore the effects of rapid rotation on the properties of neutrino-heated winds from proto-neutron stars (PNS) formed in core-collapse supernovae or neutron-star mergers by mea…
