Witnessing History: Rates and Detectability of Naked-Eye Milky-Way Supernovae
C. Tanner Murphey, Jacob W. Hogan, Brian D. Fields +1
The Milky Way hosts on average a few supernova explosions per century, yet in the past millennium only five supernovae have been identified confidently in the historical record. Th…
The Impact of New d(p,γ)He3 Rates on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Tsung-Han Yeh, Keith A. Olive, Brian D. Fields
We consider the effect on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) of new measurements of the He cross section by the LUNA Collaboration. These have an important effect on the pr…
Supernova Triggers for End-Devonian Extinctions
Brian D. Fields, Adrian L. Melott, John Ellis +6
The Late Devonian was a protracted period of low speciation resulting in biodiversity decline, culminating in extinction events near the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary. Recent evi…
Spallation of r-Process Nuclei Ejected from a Neutron Star Merger
Xilu Wang, Brian D. Fields, Matthew Mumpower +3
Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis sites, which eject materials at high velocities, from 0.1c to as high as 0.6c. Thus the r-process…
