A low initial abundance of (CM)-C-247 in the early solar system and implications for r-process nucleosynthesis
The short-lived nuclide 247Cm is produced by r-process nucleosynthesis. When the presolar nebula formed, 247Cm became isolated from r-process production and its abundance diminished as a result of radioactive decay. Given its short half-life of only ∼ 16 million years, 247Cm is presently extinct, bu...
