Gravitational-wave detectors have transformed the way we observe the Universe. Together with ground and space electromagnetic observatories, they have provided key insights into the long-standing ...

In a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, scientists have proposed the features of the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) nucleosynthesis in a novel scenario: common envelop jet ...

A new nucleosynthesis process denoted as the νr-process has been suggested by scientists from GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Technische Universität Darmstadt, and the Max Planck ...

Nucleosynthesis encompasses the network of nuclear reactions that forge the elements within stars and during stellar death. In the cores of main-sequence stars, hydrogen burning via the proton–proton ...

A simulation of a rapidly accreting white dwarf showing a proposed site for the intermediate (i) process and the Summing NaI (SuN) detector. The research studied the 139Ba+n reaction, constrained by ...

Using a novel simulation model based on machine learning, an international research team at GSI/FAIR has succeeded in gaining ...

An international team of researchers, led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has studied r-process nucleosynthesis in measurements conducted at the Canadian research center TRIUMF in ...

Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which stars forge elements inside their cores. The only element not formed in this way is hydrogen, the most abundant and lightest element in the universe: it ...

Novae – explosions of white dwarf stars – are among the most frequent and violent events in our galaxy. They are thought to play a key role in synthesizing heavy elements, but the mechanisms behind ...
