    • The s-Process Nucleosynthesis in Low Mass Stars : Impact of the Uncertainties in the Nuclear Physics Determined by Monte Carlo Variations 

      Cescutti, Gabriele; Hirschi, Raphael; Nishimura, Nobuya; Rauscher, Thomas; den Hartogh, Jacqueline; Murphy, Alex St J.; Cristallo, Sergio (Springer Nature, 2019-08-20)
      We investigated the impact of uncertainties in neutron-capture and weak reactions (on heavy elements) on the s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars using a Monte-Carlo based approach. We performed extensive nuclear ...

    • Uncertainties in the Production of p Nuclides in SN Ia Determined by Monte Carlo Variations 

      Rauscher, Thomas; Nishimura, Nobuya; Hirschi, Raphael; Murphy, Alex St J.; Cescutti, Gabriele; Travaglio, Claudia (Springer Nature, 2019-08-20)
      Several thousand tracers from a 2D model of a thermonuclear supernova were used in a Monte Carlo post-processing approach to determine p-nuclide abundance uncertainties originating from nuclear physics uncertainties in the ...

    • Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics 

      Hampton, Christine V.; Lugaro, Maria; Papakonstantinou, Panagiota; Isar, P. Gina; Nordström, Birgitta; Özkan, Nalan; Aliotta, Marialuisa; Ćiprijanović, Aleksandra; Curtis, Sanjana; Di Criscienzo, Marcella; den Hartogh, Jacqueline; Font, Andreea S.; Kankainen, Anu; Kobayashi, Chiaki; Lederer-Woods, Claudia; Niemczura, Ewa; Rauscher, Thomas; Spyrou, Artemis; Van Eck, Sophie; Yavahchova, Mariya; Chantereau, William; de Mink, Selma E.; Kaiser, Etienne A.; Thielemann, Friedrich Karl; Travaglio, Claudia; Venkatesan, Aparna; Collet, Remo (Springer Nature, 2019-08-20)
      Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e., of being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one's social, gender, or racial group [1,2]. This can lead women scientists to ...
