Calculations of fission rates for r-process nucleosynthesis
I. V. Panov, E. Kolbe, B. Pfeiffer +3
Fission plays an important role in the r-process which is responsible not only for the yields of transuranium isotopes, but may have a strong influence on the formation of the majo…
The reactions and ashes of thermonuclear explosions on neutron stars
J. L. Fisker, E. Brown, M. Liebendoerfer +2
This paper reports on the detailed rp-process reaction flow on an accreting neutron star and the resulting ashes of a type I X-ray burst. It is obtained by coupling a 298 isotope r…
The Innermost Ejecta of Core Collapse Supernovae
C. Fröhlich, P. Hauser, M. Liebendoerfer +5
We ensure successful explosions (of otherwise non-explosive models) by enhancing the neutrino luminosity via reducing the neutrino scattering cross sections or by increasing the he…
Parity-Dependence in the Nuclear Level Density
D. Mocelj, T. Rauscher, G. Martinez-Pinedo +4
Astrophysical reaction rates are sensitive to the parity distribution at low excitation energies. We combine a formula for the energy-dependent parity distribution with a microscop…
Extracting the rp-process from X-ray burst light curves
J. L. Fisker, E. Brown, M. Liebendoerfer +2
The light curves of type I X-ray bursts (XRBs) result from energy released from the atmosphere of a neutron star when accreted hydrogen and helium ignite and burn explosively via t…
Predicted cross sections for photon-induced particle emission
T. Rauscher, F. -K. Thielemann
Cross sections for the photon-induced particle-emission reactions (gamma,n), (gamma,p), and (gamma,alpha) are given for all natural isotopes from Ti to Bi. The target nuclei are as…
