Constraints on ultralight scalar dark matter with quadratic couplings by Thomas Bouley, Philip Sørensen, Tien-Tien Yu

“…In this work, we examine the impact of quadratically-coupled ultralight dark matter on the predictions of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. The presence of ultralight dark matter can modify the effective values of fundamental constants during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, modifying the predicted abundances of the primordial elements such as Helium-4. …”

Nuclear Astrophysics at the Low-Energy Frontiers: Updates from underground laboratories by Cavanna Francesca

“…Nuclear fusion reactions are the heart of nuclear astrophysics: they sensitively influence the nucleosynthesis of the elements in the earliest stages of the Universe and in all the objects formed thereafter; control the associated energy generation and neutrino luminosity; influence the evolution of stars. …”

Neutrino Flavor Conversions in High-Density Astrophysical and Cosmological Environments by Francesco Capozzi, Ninetta Saviano

“…Apart from being theoretically interesting, such a problem has several phenomenological implications in cosmology and in astrophysics, including the primordial nucleosynthesis of light elements abundance and other cosmological observables, nucleosynthesis of heavy nuclei, and the explosion of massive stars. …”

The intermediate neutron-capture process in AGB stars by Choplin Arthur, Siess Lionel, Goriely Stephane

“…After discussing the differences between the s- and i-processes in AGB stars, we highlight some critical (n, γ) reactions for i-process nucleosynthesis that may be experimentally constrained by the β-Oslo method. …”

Hypothesis about Enrichment of Solar System by Elizabeth P. Tito, Vadim I. Pavlov

“…Despite significant progress in the understanding of <i>galactic nucleosynthesis</i> and its influence on the solar system neighborhood, challenges remain in the understanding of enrichment of the <i>solar system</i> itself. …”

Imprint of galactic rotation curves and metric fluctuations on the recombination era anisotropy by Philip D. Mannheim

“…We show that the amplitudes of metric fluctuations that originate in the nucleosynthesis era can grow by a factor of 1012 by recombination, and by a factor of 1018 by the current time. …”

Neutron-capture measurement candidates for the r-process in neutron star mergers by Diego Vescovi, René Reifarth, Sergio Cristallo, Sergio Cristallo, Aaron Couture

“…Their nuclear physics properties are key inputs for r-process nucleosynthesis calculations. Here, we focus on the importance of neutron-capture rates and perform a sensitivity study for typical outflows from NSMs. …”

Gravitational wave and CMB probes of axion kination by Raymond T. Co, David Dunsky, Nicolas Fernandez, Akshay Ghalsasi, Lawrence J. Hall, Keisuke Harigaya, Jessie Shelton

“…Remarkably, no entropy is produced at the end of matter domination and hence these eras of matter and kination domination may occur even after Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We derive constraints on these eras from both the cosmic microwave background and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. …”

“…Neutron-star mergers were recently confirmed as sites of rapid-neutron-capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis1-3. However, in Galactic chemical evolution models, neutron-star mergers alone cannot reproduce the observed element abundance patterns of extremely metal-poor stars, which indicates the existence of other sites of r-process nucleosynthesis4-6. …”
