Correlated and uncorrelated Monte Carlo neutron capture rate variations in weak -process simulations
Atul Kedia, Jeffrey M. Berryman, Jonathan Cabrera Garcia +7
Reliable predictions of weak rapid neutron capture (-process) abundances require a systematic treatment of nuclear physics uncertainties, especially neutron capture rat…
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…
Kilonova Emissions from Neutron Star Merger Remnants: Implications for Nuclear Equation of State
Kelsey A. Lund, Rahul Somasundaram, Gail C. McLaughlin +3
Multi-messenger observation of binary neutron-star mergers can provide valuable information on the nuclear equation of state (EoS). Here, we investigate to which extent electromagn…
Gamma rays as a signature of r-process producing supernovae: remnants and future Galactic explosions
Zhenghai Liu, Evan Grohs, Kelsey A. Lund +5
We consider the question of whether core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) can produce rapid neutron capture process (r-process) elements and how future MeV gamma-ray observations could…
Angle-dependent in-situ fast flavor transformations in post-neutron star merger disks
Kelsey A. Lund, Payel Mukhopadhyay, Jonah M. Miller +1
The remnant black hole-accretion disk system resulting from binary neutron star mergers has proven to be a promising site for synthesizing the heaviest elements via rapid neutron c…
