Early galactic heavy element production - a phenomenological approach
B. Wehmeyer, D. Blaschke, F. K. Röpke +1
The high abundances of heavy elements in early, extremely metal-poor stars is still an unsolved issue in Galactic Chemical Evolution (GCE). Standard approaches, such as mergers of…
Inhomogeneous enrichment of radioactive nuclei in the Galaxy: Deposition of live Mn-53, Fe-60, Hf-182, and Pu-244 into deep-sea archives. Surfing the wave?
Benjamin Wehmeyer, Andrés Yagüe López, Benoit Côté +3
While modelling the galactic chemical evolution (GCE) of stable elements provides insights to the formation history of the Galaxy and the relative contributions of nucleosynthesis…
Origin of Plutonium-244 in the Early Solar System
Maria Lugaro, Andrés Yagüe López, Benjámin Soós +5
We investigate the origin in the early Solar System of the short-lived radionuclide 244Pu (with a half life of 80 Myr) produced by the rapid (r) neutron-capture process. We conside…
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…
129I and 247Cm in Meteorites Constrain the Last Astrophysical Source of Solar r-process Elements
Benoit Côté, Marius Eichler, Andrés Yagüe +12
The composition of the early Solar System can be inferred from meteorites. Many elements heavier than iron were formed by the rapid neutron-capture process (r process), but the ast…
Core-collapse Supernova Explosions Driven by the Hadron-quark Phase Transition as a Rare -process Site
Tobias Fischer, Meng-Ru Wu, Benjamin Wehmeyer +3
Supernova explosions of massive stars are one of the primary sites for the production of the elements in the universe. Up to now, stars with zero-age main-sequence masses in the ra…
