Progress in Nuclear Astrophysics: a multi-disciplinary field with still many open questions
S. Goriely, A. Choplin, W. Ryssens +1
Nuclear astrophysics is a multi-disciplinary field with a huge demand for nuclear data. Among its various fields, stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis are clearly the most closely…
Synthesis of thorium and uranium in asymptotic giant branch stars
A. Choplin, S. Goriely, L. Siess
The intermediate neutron capture process (i-process) operates at neutron densities between those of the slow and rapid neutron-capture processes. It can be triggered by the ingesti…
The intermediate neutron capture process. III. The i-process in AGB stars of different masses and metallicities without overshoot
A. Choplin, L. Siess, S. Goriely
Alongside the slow (s) and rapid (r) neutron capture processes, an intermediate neutron capture process (i-process) is thought to exist. It happens when protons are mixed in a conv…
Constraints on key O()Ne resonances and impact on the weak s-process
M. Williams, A. M. Laird, A. Choplin +7
The efficiency of the slow neutron-capture process in massive stars is strongly influenced by neutron-capture reactions on light elements. At low metallicity, O is an import…
The impact of O reaction rate uncertainties on the s-process in rotating massive stars
J. Frost-Schenk, P. Adsley, A. M. Laird +9
Massive stars are crucial to galactic chemical evolution for elements heavier than iron. Their contribution at early times in the evolution of the Universe, however, is unclear due…
The p-process in exploding rotating massive stars
A. Choplin, S. Goriely, R. Hirschi +2
The p-process nucleosynthesis can explain proton-rich isotopes that are heavier than iron, which are observed in the Solar System, but discrepancies still persist and important que…
