    • Boron depletion in 9 to 15 M(circle dot) stars with rotation 

      Frischknecht, U.; Hirschi, R.; Meynet, G.; Ekstroem, S.; Georgy, C.; Rauscher, T.; Winteler, C.; Thielemann, F-K. (Cambridge University Press, 2010)
      The treatment of mixing is still one of the major uncertainties in stellar evolution models. One open question is how well the prescriptions for rotational mixing describe the real effects. We tested the mixing prescriptions ...

    • Chemistry of heavy elements in the Dark Ages 

      Vonlanthen, P.; Rauscher, T.; Winteler, C.; Puy, D.; Signore, M.; Dubrovich, V. (2009-08)
      Context. Primordial molecules were formed during the Dark Ages, i.e. the time between recombination and reionization in the early Universe. They were the constituents of the first proto-stellar clouds. Standard Big Bang ...

    • Constraints on rotational mixing from surface evolution of light elements in massive stars 

      Frischknecht, U.; Hirschi, R.; Meynet, G.; Ekstroem, S.; Georgy, C.; Rauscher, T.; Winteler, C.; Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl (2010-11)
      Context. Light elements and nitrogen surface abundances together can constrain the mixing efficiencies in massive stars on the main sequence, because moderate mixing in the surface layers leads to depletion of light elements ...

    • The Impact of Fission on R-Process Calculations 

      Eichler, M.; Arcones, A.; Käppeli, R.; Korobkin, O.; Liebendörfer, M.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Panov, I. V.; Rauscher, T.; Rosswog, S.; Thielemann, F. K.; Winteler, C. (2016-01-05)
      We have performed r-process calculations in neutron star mergers (NSM) and jets of magnetohydrodynamically driven (MHD) supernovae. In these very neutron-rich environments the fission model of heavy nuclei has an impact ...

    • The Nuclear Reaction Network WinNet 

      Reichert, M.; Winteler, C.; Korobkin, O.; Arcones, A.; Bliss, J.; Eichler, M.; Frischknecht, U.; Fröhlich, C.; Hirschi, R.; Jacobi, M.; Kuske, J.; Martínez-Pinedo, G.; Martin, D.; Mocelj, D.; Rauscher, T.; Thielemann, F.-K. (2023-10-11)
      We present the state-of-the-art single-zone nuclear reaction network WinNet, which is capable of calculating the nucleosynthetic yields of a large variety of astrophysical environments and conditions. This ranges from the ...

    • The Role of Fission in Neutron Star Mergers and Its Impact on the r-Process Peaks 

      Eichler, M.; Arcones, A.; Kelic, A.; Korobkin, O.; Langanke, K.; Marketin, T.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Panov, I.; Rauscher, T.; Rosswog, S.; Winteler, C.; Zinner, N. T.; Thielemann, F. K. (2015-07-15)
      Comparing observational abundance features with nucleosynthesis predictions of stellar evolution or explosion simulations, we can scrutinize two aspects: (a) the conditions in the astrophysical production site and (b) the ...

    • The role of fission on neutron star mergers and its impact on the r-process peaks 

      Eichler, M.; Arcones, A.; Kelic, A.; Korobkin, O.; Langanke, K.; Marketin, T.; Martinez-Pinedo, G.; Panov, I.; Rauscher, T.; Rosswog, S.; Winteler, C.; Zinner, N. T.; Thielemann, F. K. (American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2016-06-21)
      The comparison between observational abundance features and those obtained from nucleosynthesis predictions of stellar evolution and/or explosion simulations can scrutinize two aspects: (a) the conditions in the astrophysical ...

    • 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 ...
