High-resolution spectroscopy of extremely metal-poor stars in the least evolved galaxies: Bootes II
, 2015 We present high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra of the four brightest confirmed red giant stars in the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Bootes II (Boo II). These stars all inhabit the metal-poor tail of the Boo II metallicity distribution function. The chemical

Sensitivity studies for the weak r process: neutron capture rates
AIP Advances, 2014 Rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis involves thousands of nuclear species far from stability, whose nuclear properties need to be understood in order to accurately predict nucleosynthetic outcomes.

Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Most of the studies on the determination of the chemical composition of metal-poor stars have been focused on the search of the most pristine stars, searching for the imprints of the ejecta of the first supernovae. Apart from the rare and very interesting r-enriched stars, few elements are measurable in the very metal-poor stars.

Recent results in nuclear astrophysics at the n_TOF facility at CERN [PDF]
, 2016 The neutron time of flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a spallation source characterized by a white neutron spectrum. The innovative features of the facility, in the two experimental areas, (20 m and 185 m), allow for an accurate determination of the ...

Dynamical Capture Binary Neutron Star Mergers
, 2012 We study dynamical capture binary neutron star mergers as may arise in dense stellar regions such as globular clusters. Using general-relativistic hydrodynamics, we find that these mergers can result in the prompt collapse to a black hole or in the ...

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Liquid hydrogen, a zero‐carbon and high–energy‐density fuel, is a promising option for future oceangoing vessels. During maritime transportation, onboard cryogenic tanks are exposed to ambient heat leakage and ship‐induced roll motion, which can trigger sloshing and fundamentally modify the coupled thermo‐fluid processes governing boil‐off and

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
