Nucleosynthesis in the Ejecta of Neutron Star Mergers
Dirk Martin, Albino Perego, Almudena Arcones +2
Heavy elements like gold, platinum or uranium are produced in the r-process, which needs neutron-rich and explosive environments. Neutron star mergers are a promising candidate for…
Neutrino-driven winds in the aftermath of a neutron star merger: nucleosynthesis and electromagnetic transients
Dirk Martin, Albino Perego, Almudena Arcones +3
We present a comprehensive nucleosynthesis study of the neutrino-driven wind in the aftermath of a binary neutron star merger. Our focus is the initial remnant phase when a massive…
On the astrophysical robustness of neutron star merger r-process
O. Korobkin, S. Rosswog, A. Arcones +1
In this study we explore the nucleosynthesis in the dynamic ejecta of compact binary mergers. We are particularly interested in the question how sensitive the resulting abundance p…
On the frequency band of the f-mode CFS instability
Burkhard Zink, Oleg Korobkin, Erik Schnetter +1
Rapidly rotating neutron stars can be unstable to the gravitational-wave-driven CFS mechanism if they have a neutral point in the spectrum of nonaxisymmetric f-modes. We investigat…
