This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star
merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and …

Recent developments in multi-dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae have
considerably improved our understanding of this complex phenomenon. In addition to that …

To reach a deeper understanding of the origin of elements in the periodic table, we construct
Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models for all stable elements from C (A= 12) to U (A …

Probing the origin of r-process elements in the universe represents a multidisciplinary
challenge. We review the observational evidence that probes the properties of r-process …

Context. The star cluster initial mass function is observed to have an inverse power law
exponent around 2, yet there is no consensus on what determines this distribution, and why …

ABSTRACT GW190521 challenges our understanding of the late-stage evolution of massive
stars and the effects of the pair instability in particular. We discuss the possibility that stars at …

The nature of the first Pop III stars is still a mystery and the energy distribution of the first
supernovae is completely unexplored. For the first time we account simultaneously for the …

In order to better understand the relationship between feedback and galactic chemical
evolution, we have developed a new model for stellar feedback at grid resolutions of only a …

The formation and evolution of galaxies have proved sensitive to the inclusion of stellar
feedback, which is therefore crucial to any successful galaxy model. We present INFERNO …

After hydrogen and helium, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen—hereinafter, the CNO elements—
are the most abundant species in the universe. They are observed in all kinds of …
