What is the origin of the oxygen we breathe, the hydrogen and oxygen (in form of water
H2O) in rivers and oceans, the carbon in all organic compounds, the silicon in electronic …

This article addresses three of the four nucleosynthesis processes involved in producing
heavy nuclei beyond Fe (with a main focus on the r-process). Opposite to the fourth process …

Metallicity Range −3 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ 0 - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science home Accessibility …

The major uncertainties involved in the Chandrasekhar mass models for Type Ia
supernovae (SNe Ia) are related to the companion star of their accreting white dwarf …

The production site of the neutron-rich heavy elements that are formed by rapid neutron
capture (the r-process) is still unknown despite intensive research. Here we show detailed …

We present the first calculations to follow the evolution of all stable nuclei and their
radioactive progenitors in stellar models computed from the onset of central hydrogen …

The Hubble expansion of galaxies, the 2.73 K black-body radiation background and the
cosmic abundances of the light elements argue for a hot, dense origin of the universe-the …

Merging neutron stars produce" kilonovae"—electromagnetic transients powered by the
decay of unstable nuclei synthesized via rapid neutron capture (the r-process) in material …

Primordial or big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is one of the three strong pieces of evidence
for the big bang model together with the expansion of the universe and cosmic microwave …

ABSTRACT STARLIB is a next-generation, all-purpose nuclear reaction-rate library. For the
first time, this library provides the rate probability density at all temperature grid points for …
