    • Core-collapse supernova explosions triggered by a quark-hadron phase transition during the early post-bounce phase 

      Fischer, T.; Sagert, I.; Pagliara, G.; Hempel, M.; Schaffner-Bielich, J.; Rauscher, T.; Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Kaeppeli, R.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Liebendoerfer, M. (2011-06)
      We explore explosions of massive stars, which are triggered via the quark-hadron phase transition during the early post-bounce phase of core-collapse supernovae. We construct a quark equation of state, based on the bag ...

    • Element synthesis in stars 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Brachwitz, F.; Freiburghaus, C.; Kolbe, E.; Martinez-Pinedo, Gabriel; Rauscher, T.; Rembges, F.; Hix, W. R.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Mezzacappa, A.; Kratz, K.L.; Pfeiffer, B.; Langanke, K.; Nomoto, K.; Rosswog, S.; Schatz, H.; Wiescher, Michael (Elsevier, 2001)
      Except for H-1, H-2, He-3, He-4, and Li-7, originating from the Big Bang, all heavier elements are made in stellar evolution and stellar explosions. Nuclear physics, and in many cases nuclear structure far from stability, ...

    • Heavy elements and age determinations 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Hauser, P.; Kolbe, E.; Martinez-Pinedo, Gabriel; Panov, I.; Rauscher, T.; Kratz, K.L.; Pfeiffer, B.; Rosswog, S.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Mezzacappa, A. (2002-01)
      The age of the universe, measured from the Big Bang to the present, is at the focus of cosmology. Its determination relies, however, on the use of stellar objects or their products. Stellar explosions, like type Ia supernovae ...

    • Nuclear cross sections, nuclear structure and stellar nucleosynthesis 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Argast, D.; Brachwitz, F.; Hix, W. R.; Hoflich, P.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Mezzacappa, A.; Panov, I.; Rauscher, T. (2003-05-05)
      The role of nuclear reactions (strong, weak and electromagnetic) and nuclear structure effects are discussed in a number of stellar applications. We address fusion cross sections in stellar evolution, neutrino-induced ...

    • Nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Argast, D.; Brachwitz, F.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Rauscher, T.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Mezzacappa, A.; Hoflich, P.; Nomoto, K. (2002)
      Two of the basic building blocks of galaxies are stars and the interstellar medium. The evolution of the abundance composition in the latter and especially the enrichment of heavy elements as a function of space and time ...

    • Nucleosynthesis in supernovae 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Argast, D.; Brachwitz, F.; Martinez-Pinedo, Gabriel; Rauscher, T.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Mezzacappa, A.; Hoflich, P.; Iwamoto, K.; Nomoto, K. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002)
      The evolution of gas abundances in galaxies and the enrichment of heavy elements as a function of space and time reflects the history of star formation and the lifetimes of the diverse contributing stellar objects. Supernovae ...

    • Production of intermediate-mass and heavy nuclei 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Froehlich, Carla; Hirschi, R.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Dillmann, I.; Mocelj, D.; Rauscher, T.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Langanke, K.; Farouqi, K.; Kratz, K.L.; Pfeiffer, B.; Panov, I.; Nadyozhin, D. K.; Blinnikov, S.; Bravo, E.; Hix, W. R.; Hoflich, P.; Zinner, N. T. (Elsevier, 2007)
      Nucleosynthesis is the science related to all astrophysical processes which are responsible for the abundances of the elements and their isotopes in the universe. The astrophysical sites are the big bang and stellar objects. ...

    • The r-, p-, and nu p-Process 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Dillmann, I.; Farouqi, K.; Fischer, T.; Froehlich, C.; Kelic-Heil, A.; Korneev, I.; Kratz, K.L.; Langanke, K.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Panov, I. V.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Rauscher, T. (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010)
      The processes discussed in this review are three of the four nucleosynthesis processes involved in producing heavy nuclei beyond Fe (not counting the rp-process in Xray bursts). Opposite to the fourth process (the s-process), ...

    • What are the astrophysical sites for the r-process and the production of heavy elements? 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Arcones, A.; Kaeppeli, R.; Liebendoerfer, M.; Rauscher, T.; Winteler, C.; Froehlich, C.; Dillmann, I.; Fischer, T.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Langanke, K.; Farouqi, K.; Kratz, K. -L.; Panov, I.; Korneev, I. K. (2011-04)
      This article addresses three of the four nucleosynthesis processes involved in producing heavy nuclei beyond Fe (with a main focus on the r-process). Opposite to the fourth process (the s-process), which operates in stellar ...
