    • An approximation for the rp-process 

      Rembges, F.; Freiburghaus, C.; Rauscher, T.; Thielemann, F.K.; Schatz, H.; Wiescher, M. (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 ...
    • 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, ...
    • Explosive nucleosynthesis close to the drip lines 

      Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl; Freiburghaus, C.; Rauscher, T.; Rembges, F.; Rosswog, S.; Pfeiffer, B.; Kratz, K.L.; Schatz, H.; Wiescher, M. (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 ...
