What is the origin of the oxygen we breathe, the hydrogen and oxygen (in form of water
H2O) in rivers and oceans, the carbon in all organic compounds, the silicon in electronic …

Multi-dimensional fluid flow plays a paramount role in the explosions of massive stars as
core-collapse supernovae. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) simulations of these …

To reach a deeper understanding of the origin of elements in the periodic table, we construct
Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models for all stable elements from C (A= 12) to U (A …

We analyze pre-explosion near-and mid-infrared (IR) imaging of the site of SN 2023ixf in the
nearby spiral galaxy M101 and characterize the candidate progenitor star. The star displays …

Abstract Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS;
https://compas. science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS …

In the transitional mass range (~ 8–10 solar masses) between white dwarf formation and
iron core-collapse supernovae, stars are expected to produce an electron-capture …

A century ago, nuclear physics entered astrophysics, giving birth to a new field of science
referred to as “Nuclear Astrophysics”. With time, it developed at an impressive pace into a …

After hydrogen and helium, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen—hereinafter, the CNO elements—
are the most abundant species in the universe. They are observed in all kinds of …

Electron capture on nuclei plays an essential role in the dynamics of several astrophysical
objects, including core-collapse and thermonuclear supernovae, the crust of accreting …

We introduce a new chemical enrichment and stellar feedback model into GIZMO, using the
SIMBA sub-grid models as a base. Based on the state-of-the-art chemical evolution model of …
