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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

PUSHing Core-collapse Supernovae to Explosions in Spherical Symmetry. III. Nucleosynthesis Yields [PDF]
In a previously presented proof-of-principle study, we established a parameterized spherically symmetric explosion method (PUSH) that can reproduce many features of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) for a wide range of pre-explosion models.

Machine learning opportunities for nucleosynthesis studies
Nuclear astrophysics is an interdisciplinary field focused on exploring the impact of nuclear physics on the evolution and explosions of stars and the cosmic creation of the elements.

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.

Primordial nucleosynthesis [PDF]
Primordial nucleosynthesis, or big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), is one of the three evidences for the big bang model, together with the expansion of the universe and the cosmic microwave background. There is a good global agreement over a range of nine orders of magnitude between abundances of4He, D,3He and7Li deduced from observations, and calculated ...

β-delayed Fission in r-process Nucleosynthesis [PDF]
We present β-delayed neutron emission and β-delayed fission (βdf) calculations for heavy, neutron-rich nuclei using the coupled Quasi-Particle Random Phase Approximation plus Hauser-Feshbach (QRPA+HF) approach.

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 ...
