The r-process and neutrino-heated supernova ejecta
- S. Woosley, James R. Wilson, G. Mathews, R. Hoffman, B. Meyer
- Physics
- 20 September 1994
As a neutron star is formed by the collapse of the iron core of a massive star, its Kelvin-Helmholtz evolution is characterized by the release of gravitational binding energy as neutrinos. The…
Neutron Capture Elements in s-Process-Rich, Very Metal-Poor Stars
- W. Aoki, S. Ryan, M. Fujimoto
- Physics
- 3 July 2001
We report abundance estimates for neutron capture elements, including lead (Pb), and nucleosynthesis models for their origin, in two carbon-rich, very metal-poor stars, LP 625-44 and LP 706-7. These…
The r-Process in Neutrino-driven Winds from Nascent, “Compact” Neutron Stars of Core-Collapse Supernovae
- S. Wanajo, T. Kajino, G. Mathews, K. Otsuki
- Physics
- 15 February 2001
We present calculations of r-process nucleosynthesis in neutrino-driven winds from the nascent neutron stars of core-collapse supernovae. A full dynamical reaction network for both the α-rich…

Mass-Radius Relation for Magnetic White Dwarfs
- I. Suh, G. Mathews
- Physics, Geology
- 14 June 1999
Recently, several white dwarfs with very strong surface magnetic fields have been observed. In this paper we explore the possibility that such stars could have sufficiently strong internal fields to…
Flash-Driven Convective Mixing in Low-Mass, Metal-deficient Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars: A New Paradigm for Lithium Enrichment and a Possible s-Process
- N. Iwamoto, T. Kajino, G. Mathews, M. Fujimoto, W. Aoki
- Physics
- 10 February 2004
We have calculated models for low-mass, metal-deficient ([Fe/H] = -2.7) stars from the zero-age main sequence through the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase. We confirm that the…
Inhomogenous Chemical Evolution of the Galactic Disk
- D. Clayton, G. Malinie, D. Hartmann, G. Mathews
- Physics, Geology
- 20 August 1993
We present analytical models for inhomogeneous chemical evolution (ICE) of systems in which the star formation history resembles a series of bursts, localized in space and/or time, with intermittent…
r-Process in Prompt Supernova Explosions Revisited
- K. Sumiyoshi, M. Terasawa, G. Mathews, T. Kajino, S. Yamada, H. Suzuki
- Physics
- 22 June 2001
We reanalyze r-process nucleosynthesis in the neutron-rich ejecta from a prompt supernova explosion of a low-mass (11 M☉) progenitor. Although it has not yet been established that a prompt explosion…
