Key Points A method is described to obtain high precision Sn isotope ratios using the double spike technique in geological reference materials containing 0.03 to 7 μg g−1 of Sn. δ122/118Sn values are reported for sixteen geological RMs. Improved precision was achieved compared with previous studies by using low concentration Sn analyte.

The Observer’s Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection
We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places emphasis on how observations, and the modelling of observations, have constrained what we know about GRB‐SNe.

The Role of Neutrinos in Explosive Nucleosynthesis [PDF]
We present a new primary nucleosynthesis process, the # p-process, occurring in supernovae (and possibly gamma-ray bursts) when strong neutrino fluxes create proton-rich ejecta. In this process, antineutrino absorptions in the proton-rich environment produce neutrons that are immediately captured by neutron-deficient nuclei.

Explosive Nucleosynthesis: What We Learned and What We Still Do Not Understand
This review touches on historical aspects, going back to the early days of nuclear astrophysics, initiated by B2FH and Cameron, discusses (i) the required nuclear input from reaction rates and decay properties up to the nuclear equation of state ...

The bulk mineralogy, elemental composition, and water content of the Winchcombe CM chondrite fall
Abstract On the microscale, the Winchcombe CM carbonaceous chondrite contains a number of lithological units with a variety of degrees of aqueous alteration. However, an understanding of the average hydration state is useful when comparing to other meteorites and remote observations of airless bodies.

Nuclear astrophysicists at war
The Manhattan program not only opened the path to the nuclear age for humans, but also triggered a lot of new questions and research directions in nuclear physics and astrophysics that still inform the ideas in these fields today. Abstract The question of energy production in stars stimulated an entire generation of young physicists in the 1930s who ...

Explosive Nucleosynthesis in Helium Zones
We study by numerical integration the network of nuclear reactions that are expected to occur when the helium zones of a star are instantaneously heated and allowed to expand adiabatically. The dependence of the results on nuclear cross-sections, on the peak temperature, and on the time scale of the hydrodynamic expansion are discussed.

56Ni Production in Long-lived Binary Neutron Star Merger Remnants
We investigate the nucleosynthesis and kilonova emission based on numerical-relativity binary neutron star merger simulations that incorporate a two-moment neutrino-transport scheme.

Core-collapse Supernova Simulations with Reduced Nucleosynthesis Networks
We present core-collapse supernova simulations including nuclear reaction networks that impact explosion dynamics and nucleosynthesis. The different composition treatment can lead to changes in the neutrino heating in the vicinity of the shock by ...
