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.

Heavy Elements and Electromagnetic Transients from Neutron Star Mergers
Astro‐(physics) has made major leaps forward through the combined information provided by both gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission from the first detected neutron star merger event. This review provides an up‐to‐date overview of today's understanding of neutron star mergers and their electromagnetic emission and it discusses possible ...

Fluorine is one of the most interesting elements in nuclear astrophysics. Its abundance can provide important hints to constrain the stellar models since fluorine production and destruction are strictly connected to the physical conditions inside the ...

Neutrinos and nucleosynthesis in supernova
The type II supernova is considered as a candidate site for the production of heavy elements. The nucleosynthesis occurs in an intense neutrino flux, we calculate the electron fraction in this environment.

Abstract The nucleosynthetic Cr isotope anomalies provides useful information to trace the source and origin of extraterrestrial samples, but it is usually influenced by high‐energy cosmic rays, and evaluating such effect of cosmic rays in lunar samples is especially important.

Production of Lithium and Heavy Elements in AGB Stars Experiencing PIEs
Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars can experience proton ingestion events (PIEs), leading to a rich nucleosynthesis. During a PIE, the intermediate neutron capture process (i-process) develops, leading to the production of trans-iron elements.

Absence of a Lower Limit on Omega_b in Inhomogeneous Primordial Nucleosynthesis
We show that a class of inhomogeneous big bang nucleosynthesis models exist which yield light-element abundances in agreement with observational constraints for baryon-to-photon ratios significantly smaller than those inferred from standard homogeneous ...

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: 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 B$^2$FH and Cameron, discusses (i) the required nuclear input from reaction rates and decay properties up to the nuclear equation of state ...
