Urca Nuclide Production in Type-I X-ray Bursts and Implications for Nuclear Physics Studies
Grant Merz, Zach Meisel
The thermal structure of accreting neutron stars is affected by the presence of urca nuclei in the neutron star crust. Nuclear isobars harboring urca nuclides can be produced in th…
Evaluation of Experimental Constraints on the Ti(,p)V Reaction Cross Section Relevant for Supernovae
Kelly A. Chipps, Philip Adsley, Manoel Couder +3
Due to its importance as an astronomical observable in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), the reactions producing and destroying Ti must be well constrained. Generally, stati…
Sensitivity of Ti and Ni production in CCSN shock-driven nucleosynthesis to reaction rates
Shiv K. Subedi, Zach Meisel, Grant Merz
Recent observational advances have enabled high resolution mapping of Ti in core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnants. Comparisons between observations and models provide st…
Nuclear Mass Measurements Map the Structure of Atomic Nuclei and Accreting Neutron Stars
Z. Meisel, S. George, S. Ahn +28
We present mass excesses (ME) of neutron-rich isotopes of Ar through Fe, obtained via TOF- mass spectrometry at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. Our new resul…
Constraining the destruction rate of K in stellar nucleosynthesis through the study of the Ar(p,n)K reaction
P. Gastis, G. Perdikakis, J. Dissanayake +13
40K plays a significant role in the radiogenic heating of earth-like exoplanets, which can affect the development of a habitable environment on their surfaces. The initial amount o…
