چکیده

We present montage, a post-processing nucleosynthesis code that combines a traditional network for isotopes lighter than calcium with a rapid algorithm for calculating the s-process nucleosynthesis of the heavier isotopes. The separation of those parts of the network where only neutron-capture and beta-decay reactions are significant provides a substantial advantage in computational efficiency. We present the yields for a complete set of s-process isotopes for a 3M⊙, Z = 0.02 stellar model, as a demonstration of the utility of the approach. Future work will include a large grid of models suitable for use in calculations of Galactic chemical evolution.

A New Study of s-Process Nucleosynthesis in Massive Stars

We present a comprehensive study of s-process nucleosynthesis in 15, 20, 25, and 30 M stellar models having solar-like initial composition. The stars are evolved up to ignition of central neon with a 659 species network coupled to the stellar models. In this way, the initial composition from one burning phase to another is consistently determined, especially with respect to neutron capture reac...

P-process nucleosynthesis in detonating white dwarfs in the light of multidimensional hydrodynamical models

The p-process nucleosynthesis in He-accreting white dwarfs with sub-Chandrasekhar mass is revisited in the light of multi-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. Post-processing calculations are performed on a sample of well-chosen track particles representative of the core and envelope material that is subject to the p-process. The p-abundance distributions in the disrupted core as well as in ...

Direct neutron captures and the r-process nucleosynthesis

The radiative direct capture of neutrons is calculated within the potential model. The uncertainties related to the choice of the neutron-nucleus interaction potential and the prediction of the excitation spectrum in the residual nucleus are discussed. The allowed direct E1-type transitions to all the excited states predicted by a combinatorial model of nuclear level densities are calculated wi...

GENERAL RELATIVISTIC EFFECTS IN THE NEUTRINO-DRIVEN WIND AND r-PROCESS NUCLEOSYNTHESIS

We discuss general relativistic effects in the steady state neutrino-driven “wind” that may arise from nascent neutron stars. In particular, we generalize previous analytic estimates of the entropy per baryon S, the mass outflow rate Ṁ, and the dynamical expansion timescale tdyn. We show that S increases and tdyn decreases with increasing values of the mass-to-radius ratio describing the supern...
