Collapsars as a major source of r-process elements
Daniel M. Siegel, Jennifer Barnes, Brian D. Metzger
The production of elements by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in neutron-star mergers is expected theoretically and is supported by multimessenger observations of gravitational-w…
FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova
A. Aprahamian, R. Surman, A. Frebel +45
In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the a…
r-Process Nucleosynthesis: Connecting Rare-Isotope Beam Facilities with the Cosmos
C. J. Horowitz, A. Arcones, B. Côté +35
This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and elec…
