Production of Lithium, Beryllium, and Boron by Hypernovae
Brian D. Fields, Frederic Daigne, Michel Casse +1
We investigate a possible nucleosynthetic signature of highly energetic explosions of C-O cores ("hypernovae," HNe) which might be associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We note…
On the Possible Sources of D/H Dispersion at High Redshift
Brian D. Fields, Keith A. Olive, Joseph Silk +2
Recent observations suggest the existence of a white dwarf population in the Galactic halo, while others suggest that deuterium has been astrated in systems at high redshift and lo…
Primordial Nucleosynthesis with CMB Inputs: Probing the Early Universe and Light Element Astrophysics
Richard H. Cyburt, Brian D. Fields, Keith A. Olive
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) determinations of the baryon-to-photon ratio will remove the last free parameter from (standard) big bang nucleosynt…
Diffuse Gamma-Rays from Local Group Galaxies
Vasiliki Pavlidou, Brian D. Fields
Diffuse gamma-ray radiation in galaxies is produced by cosmic ray interactions with the interstellar medium. With the completion of EGRET observations, the only extragalactic objec…
A Simple Model for r-Process Scatter and Halo Evolution
Brian D. Fields, James W. Truran, John J. Cowan
Recent observations of heavy elements produced by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in the halo have shown a striking and unexpected behavior: within a single star, the relative ab…
The NACRE Thermonuclear Reaction Compilation and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Richard H. Cyburt, Brian D. Fields, Keith A. Olive
The theoretical predictions of big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) are dominated by uncertainties in the input nuclear reaction cross sections. In this paper, we examine the impact on B…
