Explosive nucleosynthesis close to the drip lines
(1998-11)
We give an overview of explosive burning and the role which neutron and/or proton separation energies play. We focus then on the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) which encounters unstable nuclei with neutron ...
Proton capture cross sections of the ruthenium isotopes
(1998-07)
The proton capture cross sections of the stable ruthenium isotopes 96, 98, 99, and 104 have been measured by means of the activation method in the proton energy range between 1.5 and 3 MeV. Thin layers of natural ruthenium ...
rp-process nucleosynthesis at extreme temperature and density conditions
(1998-02)
We present nuclear reaction network calculations to investigate the influence of nuclear structure on the rp-process between Ge and Sn in various scenarios. Due to the lack of experimental data for neutron-deficient nuclei ...
Explosive H-burning, the rp-process, and X-ray bursts
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 1998)
The major astrophysical events which involve explosive H-burning are novae and type I X-ray bursts. Both are related to binary stellar systems with hydrogen accretion from a binary companion onto a compact object, and the ...
Nucleosynthesis at the proton drip line - a challenge for nuclear physics
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 1998)
The rp-process in X-ray bursts is investigated using a complete and updated nuclear reaction network from H to Sr, that is coupled to a one dimensional, one zone X-ray burst model. In particular we consider 2p-capture ...
The endpoint of the rp-process
(1997-08-04)
An approximation for the rp-process
(1997-07-20)
Hot (explosive) hydrogen burning, or the rapid proton capture process (rp-process), occurs in a number of astrophysical environments. Novae and X-ray bursts are the most prominent ones, but accretion disks around black ...
