Black holes as “time capsules”: A cosmological graviton background and the Hubble tension
Abstract Minuscule primordial black holes (BHs) before the end and after inflation can serve as “time capsules” bringing back energy from the past to a later epoch when they evaporate. As these BHs behave like matter, while the rest of the universe's content behaves like radiation, the mass fraction of these BHs, which is tiny at formation, becomes ...

Screening Effects in Stars and in the Laboratory
Nuclear reactions are the driver of the evolution of many astrophysical objects. In the astrophysical environment their respective reaction rates are, however, modified due to the presence of other charges.

Neutrinos and Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis [PDF]
This chapter discusses three nucleosynthesis processes involved in producing heavy nuclei beyond the iron group that are influenced or shaped by neutrino interactions: the v process, the vp process and the r process. These processes are all related to explosive events involving compact objects, such as core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star ...

Experiments probing clustering effects in explosive nucleosynthesis
Nuclear clustering affects the nucleosynthesis occurring in a number of astrophysical environments. Highly-clusterized nuclear states typically occur near particle thresholds and therefore can produce dramatic impacts on the nuclear reaction rates.

Nucleosynthesis in classical novae [PDF]
A general review of the relevance of classical novae for the chemical evolution of the Galaxy, as well as for Galactic radioactivity is presented. A special emphasis is put on the pioneering work done by Jim Truran in this field of research. The impact of recent developments in nuclear astrophysics on nova nucleosynthesis, together with the prospects ...

Properties and Composition of Magnetized Nuclei
The properties and mass distribution of the ultramagnetized atomic nuclei which arise in heavy-ion collisions and magnetar crusts, during Type II supernova explosions and neutron star mergers are analyzed.

s-Processing in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars in the Light of Revised Neutron-Capture Cross Sections
Current AGB stellar models provide an adequate description of the s-process nucleosynthesis that occurs. Nonetheless, they still suffer from many uncertainties related to the modeling of the 13C pocket formation and the adopted nuclear reaction rates ...

QUÍMICA ESTELAR E ESTRELAS APOCALÍPTICAS: ESTUDO COMPARATIVO
All atoms existing in the Universe, except Hydrogen (H) and helium (He), arise from processes occurring in stars and their evolution. The stars transmute the H and He in other heavier elements through nuclear fusion and its process rolling, filling and ...

R-Process with Magnetized Nuclei at Dynamo-Explosive Supernovae and Neutron Star Mergers
Nucleosynthesis at latge magnetic induction levels relevant to core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers is considered. For respective magnetic fields of a strength up to ten teratesla, atomic nuclei exhibit a linear magnetic response due to the ...
