R-process abundances and cosmochronometers in old metal-poor halo stars
B. Pfeiffer, K. -L. Kratz, F. -K. Thielemann +5
Proc. IX. Workshop on Nuclear Astrophysics, Ringberg Castle, Tegernsee, Bavaria; March 1998
Mass ejection in neutron star mergers
S. Rosswog, M. Liebendoerfer, F. -K. Thielemann +3
We present the results of 3D Newtonian SPH simulations of the merger of a neutron star binary. The microscopic properties of matter are described by the physical equation of state…
R-Process Abundances and Chronometers in Metal-Poor Stars
John J. Cowan, B. Pfeiffer, K. -L. Kratz +5
Rapid neutron-capture (i.e., r-process) nucleosynthesis calculations, employing internally consistent and physically realistic nuclear physics input (QRPA beta-decay rates and the…
Coalescing Neutron Stars: A Solution to the R-Process Problem?
S. Rosswog, F. -K. Thielemann, M. B. Davies +2
Recent calculations place questions on the ability of supernovae to produce r-process nuclei in the correct amounts. We present results from 3D Newtonian SPH calculations of merger…
The QSE-reduced αNetwork
W. R. Hix, A. M. Khokhlov, J. C. Wheeler +1
Examination of the process of silicon burning, the burning stage that leads to the production of the iron peak nuclei, reveals that the nuclear evolution is dominated by large grou…
Global statistical model calculations and the role of isospin
T. Rauscher, F. -K. Thielemann
An improved code for the calculation of astrophysical reaction rates in the statistical model is presented. It includes the possibility to study isospin effects. Such effects heavi…
Nucleosynthesis Basics and Applications to Supernovae
F. -K. Thielemann, T. Rauscher, C. Freiburghaus +4
This review concentrates on nucleosynthesis processes in general and their applications to massive stars and supernovae. A brief initial introduction is given to the physics in ast…
