The quest for the origin of matter in the Universe had been the subject of philosophical and
theological debates over the history of mankind, but quantitative answers could be found …

The Skyrme effective interaction, with its multitude of parameterisations, along with its
implementation using the static and time-dependent density functional (TDHF) formalism …

The success or failure of the neutrino-transport mechanism for producing a supernova in an
evolved massive star is known to be sensitive not only to the mass of the iron core that …

Rotation was shown to have a strong impact on the structure and light element
nucleosynthesis in massive stars. In particular, models including rotation can reproduce the …

ABSTRACT A crucial ingredient in population synthesis studies involving massive stars is
the determination of whether they explode or implode in the end. While the final fate of a …

We compile spectroscopic abundance data from 84 literature sources for 50 elements
across 3058 stars in the solar neighborhood, within 150 pc of the Sun, to produce the …

We provide a set of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis calculations that applies
established physics assumptions simultaneously to low-and intermediate-mass and massive …

There is observational evidence that supports the existence of very massive stars (VMS) in
the local universe. First, VMS (M ini≲ 320 M⊙) have been observed in the Large Magellanic …

We explore the variation in single-star 15–30 M, nonrotating, solar metallicity, pre-
supernova MESA models that is due to changes in the number of isotopes in a fully coupled …

The C 12+ C 12 fusion reaction plays a critical role in the evolution of massive stars and also
strongly impacts various explosive astrophysical scenarios. The presence of resonances in …
