Neutron-rich Nucleosynthesis in Carbon Deflagration Supernovae
Accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs approaching the Chandrasekhar mass may provide a substantial fraction of Type Ia supernovae. The hydrodynamics of nuclear burning in these models remains uncertain, but all current models are characterized by an initial period of slow, nearly laminar Ñame propagation at a well-known conductive speed. For cold white dwarfs and slow accretion, the density at t...
متن کاملBridging the mass gaps at A = 5 and A = 8 in nucleosynthesis ∗
In nucleosynthesis three possible paths are known to bridge the mass gaps at A = 5 and A = 8. The primary path producing the bulk of the carbon in our Universe proceeds via the triple-alpha process He(2α,γ)C. This process takes place in helium-burning of red giant stars. We show that outside a narrow window of about 0.5% of the strength or range of the strong force, the stellar production of ca...
متن کاملNeutron Cross Sections for Nucleosynthesis Studies
Previous compilations of (n, γ ) cross sections of relevance for neutron capture nucleosynthesis in the big bang and in the slow neutron capture process (s process) have been updated to encompass information available up to December 1998; data references include work in process then and published subsequently. The experimental results for nuclei between H and Bi were critically surveyed, renorm...
متن کاملBridging the Time Scale Gap with Transition Path Sampling
Transition path sampling is a methodology which overcomes both the long timescale problem and the lack of prior knowledge about transition mechanisms. Here we briefly review the basic principles of transition path sampling, illustrate its application using autoionization in liquid water, and emphasize the capabilities and limitations of the methodology. 1 Why transition path sampling is needed ...
متن کاملNucleosynthesis via Rapid Neutron Capture
I discuss the recent progress in our understanding of nucleosynthesis via rapid neutron capture, the r-process, based on meteoritic data for the early solar system and observations of stars at low metallicities. At present, all data require that there be two distinct kinds of r-process events and suggest that supernovae are associated with these events. The diversity of supernova sources for th...
