TL;DR: In this paper, it was pointed out that neutron-star collisions should synthesize neutron-rich heavy elements, thought to be formed by rapid neutron capture (the r-process), and these collisions should produce neutrino bursts and resultant bursts of gamma rays; the latter should comprise a subclass of observable gamma-ray bursts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primordial nucleosynthesis redux
TL;DR: In this article, the abundances of the light elements were recalculated within the framework of primordial nucleosynthesis in the standard hot big band model, in order to estimate the primordial abundances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primordial nucleosynthesis: a critical comparison of theory and observation
TL;DR: In this article, the nucleon-to-photon ratio of primordial nucleosynthesis is re-examined in the context of a detailed comparison of theory and observation, and a new argument is presented to show how the observed abundances of D and /sup 3/He can be used to derive a lower bound to the nucleus density.
Journal ArticleDOI
The tidal disruption of neutron stars by black holes in close binaries.
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of close, doubly compact binary systems from close massive binaries is considered, and a model for the tidal disruption of a neutron star by the black hole in these systems is constructed, and it is shown that mass ejection to infinity from 1.3 M/sub sun/ neutron stars spiraling into black holes with masses less than 8-17 M/ sub sun/ is possible, depending upon the neutron star equation of state.
