R-process Nucleosynthesis from Three-Dimensional Magnetorotational Core-Collapse Supernovae
Philipp Mösta, Luke F. Roberts, Goni Halevi +4
We investigate r-process nucleosynthesis in three-dimensional (3D) general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of rapidly rotating strongly magnetized core collapse. The s…
The Origin of r-Process Elements in the Milky Way
Benoit Côté, Chris L. Fryer, Krzysztof Belczynski +8
Some of the heavy elements, such as gold and europium (Eu), are almost exclusively formed by the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). However, it is still unclear which astro…
SkyNet: A modular nuclear reaction network library
Jonas Lippuner, Luke F. Roberts
Almost all of the elements heavier than hydrogen that are present in our solar system were produced by nuclear burning processes either in the early universe or at some point in th…
Signatures of hypermassive neutron star lifetimes on r-process nucleosynthesis in the disk ejecta from neutron star mergers
Jonas Lippuner, Rodrigo Fernández, Luke F. Roberts +4
We investigate the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in the winds ejected by accretion disks formed in neutron star mergers. We compute the element formation in disk outflows from…
Neutrino-heated winds from millisecond proto-magnetars as sources of the weak r-process
Andrey D. Vlasov, Brian D. Metzger, Jonas Lippuner +2
We explore heavy element nucleosynthesis in neutrino-driven winds from rapidly-rotating, strongly magnetized proto-neutron stars for which the magnetic dipole is aligned with the r…
