Nuclei in the Cosmos
Edward F. Brown, Timothy C. Beers, B. Alex Brown +14
This white paper, directed to the Stars and Stellar Evolution panel, has three objectives: 1) to provide the Astro2010 Decadal Survey with a vista into the goals of the nuclear phy…
Complete nucleosynthesis calculations for low-mass stars from NuGrid
Marco Pignatari, Falk Herwig, Michael Bennett +8
Many nucleosynthesis and mixing processes of low-mass stars as they evolve from the Main Sequence to the thermal-pulse Asymptotic Giant Branch phase (TP-AGB) are well understood (a…
Spatial Distribution of Nucleosynthesis Products in Cassiopeia A: Comparison Between Observations and 3D Explosion Models
Patrick Young, Carola I. Ellinger, Francis X. Timmes +10
We examine observed heavy element abundances in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant as a constraint on the nature of the Cas A supernova. We compare bulk abundances from 1D and 3D e…
Nucleosynthetic Yields from "Collapsars"
Gabriel Rockefeller, Christopher L. Fryer, Patrick Young +8
The "collapsar" engine for gamma-ray bursts invokes as its energy source the failure of a normal supernova and the formation of a black hole. Here we present the results of the fir…
Nucleosynthesis Calculations from Core-Collapse Supernovae
Christopher L. Fryer, Patrick Young, Michael Bennett +8
We review some of the uncertainties in calculating nucleosynthetic yields, focusing on the explosion mechanism. Current yield calculations tend to either use a piston, energy injec…
NuGrid: Toward High Precision Double-Degenerate Merger Simulations with SPH in 3D
Steven Diehl, Christopher L. Fryer, Aimee Hungerford +11
We present preliminary results from recent high-resolution double-degenerate merger simulations with the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. We put particular emphasis o…
