Slow White Dwarf Mergers as a New Galactic Source of Trans-Iron Elements
Umberto Battino, Claudia Lederer-Woods, Claudia Travaglio +2
The astrophysical origins of the heaviest stable elements that we observe today in the Solar System are still not fully understood. Recent studies have demonstrated that H-accretin…
Trans-Fe elements from Type Ia Supernovae. I. Heavy element nucleosynthesis during the formation of near-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs
Umberto Battino, James Keegans, Megan Allen +9
Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in binary systems. They are central to galactic chemical evolution and serve as standardizable candles in cos…
Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis: Metallicity-Dependent Yields
James D Keegans, Marco Pignatari, Richard J Stancliffe +7
Type Ia supernova explosions (SNIa) are fundamental sources of elements for the chemical evolution of galaxies. They efficiently produce intermediate-mass (with Z between 11 and 20…
Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
H. Schatz, A. D. Becerril Reyes, A. Best +162
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the…
Measurement of the 91Zr(p,gamma)92mNb cross section motivated by type Ia supernova nucleosynthesis
Gy. Gyürky, Z. Halász, G. G. Kiss +6
The synthesis of heavy, proton rich isotopes is a poorly understood astrophysical process. Thermonuclear (type Ia) supernova explosions are among the suggested sites and the abunda…
Heavy Elements Nucleosynthesis On Accreting White Dwarfs: building seeds for the p-process
Umberto Battino, Marco Pignatari, Claudia Travaglio +5
The origin of the proton-rich trans-iron isotopes in the solar system is still uncertain. Single-degenerate thermonuclear supernovae (SNIa) with n-capture nucleosynthesis seeds ass…
