Fractional yields inferred from halo and thick disk stars by Caimmi R.

“…Hence, the fractional yields, ^pQ/^pO, are determined and (as an example) a comparison is shown with their theoretical counterparts inferred from SNII progenitor nucleosynthesis under the assumption of a power-law stellar initial mass function. …”

METAL-POOR STARS OBSERVED WITH THE MAGELLAN TELESCOPE. III. NEW EXTREMELY AND ULTRA METAL-POOR STARS FROM SDSS/SEGUE AND INSIGHTS ON THE FORMATION OF ULTRA METAL-POOR STARS by Placco, Vinicius M., Lee, Young Sun, Beers, Timothy C., Pena, Jose M., Chan, Conrad, Heger, Alexander, Frebel, Anna L., Jacobson, Heather

“…We also provide new insights on the formation of the UMP stars, based on comparisons with a new set of theoretical models of supernovae (SNe) nucleosynthesis. The models were matched with 20 UMP stars found in the literature, together with one of the program stars (SDSS J1204+1201), with [Fe/H] = -4.34. …”

R-process enrichment from a single event in an ancient dwarf galaxy by Simon, Joshua D., Ji, Alexander Pung, Frebel, Anna L., Chiti, Anirudh

“…The smaller, chemically simpler, and more ancient ultrafaint dwarf galaxies assembled shortly after the first stars formed, and are ideal systems with which to study nucleosynthesis events such as the r-process. Reticulum II is one such galaxy. …”

From Actinides to Zinc: Using the Full Abundance Pattern of the Brightest Star in Reticulum II to Distinguish between Different by Ji, Alexander P., Frebel, Anna L.

The R-process alliance: discovery of the first metal-poor star with a combined r- and s-process element signature by Gull, Maude, Frebel, Anna, Cain, Madelyn G., Ji, Alexander P., Ezzeddine, Rana

“…Thorium is also detected, as expected from an r-process origin, as Th is not produced in the s-process. We employ nucleosynthesis model predictions that take an initial r-process enhancement into account, and then determine the mass transfer of carbon and s-process material from a putative more massive companion onto the observed star. …”

NINE-YEAR WILKINSON MICROWAVE ANISOTROPY PROBE (WMAP) OBSERVATIONS: FINAL MAPS AND RESULTS by Bennett, C, Larson, D, Weiland, J, Jarosik, N, Hinshaw, G, Odegard, N, Smith, K, Hill, R, Gold, B, Halpern, M, Komatsu, E, Nolta, MR, Page, L, Spergel, D, Wollack, E, Dunkley, J, Kogut, A, Limon, M, Meyer, S, Tucker, G, Wright, E

“…When WMAP data are combined with finer scale CMB, baryon acoustic oscillation, and Hubble constant measurements, we find that big bang nucleosynthesis is well supported and there is no compelling evidence for a non-standard number of neutrino species (N eff = 3.84 ± 0.40). …”

Collapse of Rotating Massive Stars Leading to Black Hole Formation and Energetic Supernovae by Sho Fujibayashi, Yuichiro Sekiguchi, Masaru Shibata, Shinya Wanajo

“…The explosion energy is still increasing at the end of the simulations with a rate of >10 ^50 erg s ^−1 , and thus, it may reach ∼10 ^52 erg. A nucleosynthesis calculation shows that the mass of ^56 Ni amounts to ≳0.1 M _⊙ , which, together with the high explosion energy, may satisfy the required amount for broad-lined type Ic supernovae. …”

Experimental study of 37Cl(α,n)40K reaction in order to constrain the reaction rate of destruction of 40K in stars by Dimitrakopoulos Nikolaos, Perdikakis Georgios, Tsintari Pelagia, Brune Carl R., Massey Thomas N., Meisel Zach, Voinov Alexander, Ingram David C., Gastis Panos, Jones-Alberty Yenuel, Subedi Shiv K., Warren Justin, Brandenburg Kristyn H., Singh Nisha, Ulbrich Lauren P.

“…This study aims to constrain the 40K(n,α)37Cl reaction rate, one of the two major destruction paths of 40K in stellar nucleosynthesis,by measuring the reverse reaction 37Cl(α,n)40K and applying the principle of detailed balance as we have done before for the 40K (40K(n,p)40Ar reaction rate) [2]. …”

“…. ^244 Pu is among the heaviest r -process products, and we consider whether it was created in supernovae, which is disfavored by nucleosynthesis simulations, or in an earlier kilonova event that seeded the nearby interstellar medium with ^244 Pu that was subsequently swept up by the supernova debris. …”

The Black Hole Universe, Part II by Enrique Gaztanaga

“…If our Universe formed this way, there is no need for Cosmic Inflation or a singular start (the Big Bang). Nucleosynthesis and recombination follow a hot expansion, as in the standard model, but cosmological measurements (which are free parameters in the standard model) could in principle be predicted from first principles. …”

Imprint of pairing correlation in (n, γ) and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections of an odd-odd 166Ho nucleus by Le Tan Phuc, Tran Vu Dong, Nguyen Dinh Dang, Bui Minh Hue, Le Thi Quynh Huong, Balaram Dey, Nguyen Ngoc Anh, Nguyen Quang Hung

“…Utilizing the obtained NLD and RSF, we predict the 165Ho(n,γ)166Ho and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections, which exhibit remarkable agreement with all the available experimental data from the Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data and Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars. These results reflect the imprint of the pairing correlation on those quantities.…”
