Study of the Ar()K reaction rate via proton scattering on K, and its impact on properties of modeled X-Ray bursts
A. Lauer-Coles, C. M. Deibel, J. C. Blackmon +21
Background: Type I X-Ray bursts (XRBs) are energetic stellar explosions that occur on the surface of a neutron star in an accreting binary system with a low-mass H/He-rich companio…
First direct measurement constraining the Ar(,p)K reaction cross section for mixed hydrogen and helium burning in accreting neutron stars
J. Browne, K. A. Chipps, K. Schmidt +25
The rate of the final step in the astrophysical p-process, the Ar(,\textit{p})K reaction, suffers from large uncertainties due to lack of experimental data, des…
-decay of V and its Role in Cooling Accreted Neutron Star Crusts
W. -J. Ong, E. F. Brown, J. Browne +20
The interpretation of observations of cooling neutron star crusts in quasi-persistent X-ray transients is affected by predictions of the strength of neutrino cooling via crust Urca…
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 Neutron Star Compactness: Extraction of the Al() Reaction Rate for the -Process
C. Wolf, C. Langer, F. Montes +33
The Al()Si reaction is among the most important reactions driving the energy generation in Type-I X-ray bursts. However, the present reaction-rate uncertainty li…
Time-of-flight mass measurements of neutron-rich chromium isotopes up to N = 40 and implications for the accreted neutron star crust
Z. Meisel, S. George, S. Ahn +29
We present the mass excesses of 59-64Cr, obtained from recent time-of-flight nuclear mass measurements at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State Univer…
