Angular momentum drives proton-rich nucleosynthesis in hyperaccreting neutron stars in common envelopes
Alexander D. Hall-Smith, Sophie E. D. Abrahams, Alison M. Laird +3
Interacting binaries can produce a wide range of exotic systems, including X-ray binaries and merging neutron stars, through a mass transfer phase called Common Envelope (CE) evolu…
Implications for Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis from an Experimentally Constrained ON Reaction Rate
M. Alruwaili, C. Fougeres, A. M. Laird +13
The ON reaction plays a key role in shaping the -particle abundance during explosive oxygen burning in Type Ia supernovae. By enhancing -production, thi…
Impact of Newly Measured Nuclear Reaction Rates on Al Ejected Yields from Massive Stars
Umberto Battino, Lorenzo Roberti, Thomas V. Lawson +2
Over the last three years, the rates of all the main nuclear reactions involving the destruction and production of Al in stars (Al(n, p)Mg, Al(n, )$…
Propagating Uncertainties from Nuclear Physics to Gamma-rays in Core Collapse Supernovae
Chris L Fryer, Hendrik Schatz, Samuel Jones +18
Nuclear yields are powerful probes of supernova explosions, their engines and their progenitors. In addition, as we improve our understanding of these explosions, we can use nuclea…
Production of radioactive Na in core-collapse supernovae: the Ne-E(L) component in presolar grains and its possible consequences on supernova observations
M. Pignatari, S. Amari, P. Hoppe +8
Presolar graphite grains carry the isotopic signatures of their parent stars. A significant fraction of presolar graphites shows isotopic abundance anomalies relative to solar for…
GRB 250702B: Discovery of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Black Hole Falling into a Star
Eliza Neights, Eric Burns, Chris L. Fryer +52
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe. Their prompt gamma-ray emission has typical durations between a fraction of a second and several minu…
