In a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, scientists have proposed the features of the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) nucleosynthesis in a novel scenario: common envelop jet ...

A simulation of a rapidly accreting white dwarf showing a proposed site for the intermediate (i) process and the Summing NaI (SuN) detector. The research studied the 139Ba+n reaction, constrained by ...

A new nucleosynthesis process denoted the νr-process has been suggested by scientists from GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Technische Universität Darmstadt, and the Max Planck Institute ...

Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which stars forge elements inside their cores. The only element not formed in this way is hydrogen, the most abundant and lightest element in the universe: it ...
