The endpoint of the rp-process on accreting neutron stars
(2001-05-21)
We find that the rp process in X-ray bursts and in steady state burning, for example in X-ray pulsars, ends in a SnSbTe cycle. We discuss the consequences for the neutron star crust composition an X-ray burst light curves.
End point of the rp process on accreting neutron stars
(2001-04-16)
We calculate the rapid proton (rp) capture process of hydrogen burning on the surface of an accreting neutron star with an updated reaction network that extends up to Xe, far beyond previous work. In both steady-state ...
Element synthesis in stars
(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, ...
