The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

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 …

The production of elements by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in neutron-star mergers is
expected theoretically and is supported by multimessenger observations,–of gravitational …

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the dynamical ejecta, winds, and
nucleosynthesis in neutron star (NS) merger remnants. Binaries with the chirp mass …

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 …

Probing the origin of r-process elements in the universe represents a multidisciplinary
challenge. We review the observational evidence that probes the properties of r-process …

Merging neutron stars produce" kilonovae"—electromagnetic transients powered by the
decay of unstable nuclei synthesized via rapid neutron capture (the r-process) in material …

Magnetorotational supernovae are a rare type of core-collapse supernovae where the
magnetic field and rotation play a central role in the dynamics of the explosion. We present …

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 …

We perform three-dimensional simulations of magnetorotational supernovae using a
progenitor star with two different initial magnetic field strengths of 1010 and 1012 G in the …
