A CMB search for the neutrino mass mechanism and its relation to the Hubble tension by Miguel Escudero, Samuel J. Witte

“…In this work, we investigate potential imprints in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) arising from massive majorons, should they thermalize with neutrinos after Big Bang Nucleosynthesis via inverse neutrino decays. We show that Planck2018 measurements of the CMB are currently sensitive to neutrino-majoron couplings as small as $$\lambda \sim 10^{-13}$$ λ∼10-13 , which if interpreted in the context of the type-I seesaw mechanism correspond to a lepton number symmetry breaking scale $$v_L \sim {\mathcal {O}}(100) \, \mathrm{GeV}$$ vL∼O(100)GeV . …”

Correlated iron 60, nickel 62, and zirconium 96 in refractory inclusions and the origin of the solar system by Quitte, G, Halliday, A, Meyer, B, Markowski, A, Latkoczy, C, Guenther, D

“…The effects show the signature of neutron-burst nucleosynthesis in a massive star. Such a neutron burst is plausibly responsible for the abundance of many of the short-lived radioactivities present in the early solar system; therefore, at least some of the nucleosynthetic heterogeneity previously reported from CAIs, leached carbonaceous chondrites, and presolar grains is likely to have been generated by dust injection from a supernova at a time close to the beginning of the solar system, which is consistent with a trigger for solar nebula collapse, or generated directly by dust injection into the protoplanetary disk. © 2007. …”

Impact of Ejecta Temperature and Mass on the Strength of Heavy Element Signatures in Kilonovae by Tak, D, Uhm, ZL, Gillanders, JH

“…A kilonova, the electromagnetic emission produced by compact binary mergers, is formed through a delicate interplay of physical processes, involving r-process nucleosynthesis and interactions between heavy elements and photons through radiative transfer. …”

First Estimations of Cosmological Parameters From BOOMERANG by Lange, A, Ade, P, Bock, J, Bond, JR, Borrill, J, Boscaleri, A, Coble, K, Crill, B, Bernardis, P, Farese, P, Ferreira, P, Ganga, K, Giacometti, M, Hivon, E, Hristov, V, Iacoangeli, A, Jaffe, A, Martinis, L, Masi, S, Mauskopf, P, Melchiorri, A, Montroy, T, Netterfield, C, Pascale, E, Piacentini, F

“…We find that the data prefer a baryon density $\Omega_b h^2$ above, though similar to, the estimates from light element abundances and big bang nucleosynthesis. When combined with large scale structure observations, the BOOMERANG data provide clear detections of both dark matter and dark energy contributions to the total energy density $\Omega_{\rm {tot}}$, independent of data from high redshift supernovae.…”

Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics by Piatti Denise

“…LUNA early activity was dedicated to reactions relevant to the Sun, and then, thanks to the installation of a new accelerator (LUNA400), it focused on the study of the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and of the CNO, NeNa and MgAl cycles. …”

Presolar grain isotopic ratios as constraints to nuclear physics inputs for s-process calculations by Palmerini Sara, Busso Maurizio, Vescovi Diego, Cristallo Sergio, Mengoni Alberto, Simonucci Stefano, Taioli Simone

“…The isotopic abundances in presolar SiC grains of AGB origin provide important and precise constraints to those star nucleosynthesis models. By comparing the values of the s-element abundances resulting from calculations with the ones measured in these dust grains, it turns out that new measurements of weak-interaction rates in ionized plasmas, as well as of neutron-capture cross sections, are needed, especially in the region near the neutron magic numbers 50 and 82.…”
