Journal ArticleDOI
Recent near-Earth supernovae probed by global deposition of interstellar radioactive 60 Fe
Anton Wallner,Jenny Feige,Norikazu Kinoshita,Michael Paul,L.K. Fifield,Robin Golser,Maki Honda,U. Linnemann,Hiroyuki Matsuzaki,Silke Merchel,Georg Rugel,Stephen G. Tims,Peter Steier,Takeyasu Yamagata,Stephan R. Winkler +14 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate multiple supernova and massive-star events during the last ten million years at distances of up to 100 parsecs, which indicates that a few per cent of fresh 60Fe was captured in dust and deposited on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Shorter 146Sm Half-Life Measured and Implications for 146Sm-142Nd Chronology in the Solar System
Norikazu Kinoshita,Michael Paul,Yoav Kashiv,Philippe Collon,Catherine Deibel,Catherine Deibel,B. DiGiovine,John P. Greene,D. J. Henderson,C. L. Jiang,S. T. Marley,Takashi Nakanishi,R. C. Pardo,K. E. Rehm,Donald Robertson,R. Scott,C. Schmitt,X. D. Tang,R. C. Vondrasek,Akihiko Yokoyama +19 more
TL;DR: Terrestrial, lunar, and martian planetary silicate mantle differentiation events dated with 146Sm-142Nd converge to a shorter time span and in general to earlier times, due to the combined effect of the new 146Sm half-life and (146Sm/144Sm)0 values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-lived 244 Pu points to compact binary mergers as sites for heavy r-process nucleosynthesis
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 244Pu reveals that a rare event with a high yield is more likely, favouring mergers, and the inferred event rate remarkably agrees with compact binary merger rates estimated from Galactic neutron star binaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance of live 244Pu in deep-sea reservoirs on Earth points to rarity of actinide nucleosynthesis
Anton Wallner,T. Faestermann,Jenny Feige,C. Feldstein,Klaus Knie,Gunther Korschinek,Walter Kutschera,A. Ofan,Michael Paul,Francesca Quinto,Georg Rugel,Peter Steier +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of live actinide (244)Pu archived in Earth's deep-sea floor during the last 25 My, at abundances lower than expected from continuous production in the Galaxy by about 2 orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of nuclear structure on sub-barrier hindrance in Ni + Ni fusion
C. L. Jiang,K. E. Rehm,R. V. F. Janssens,H. Esbensen,I. Ahmad,B. B. Back,Philippe Collon,C. N. Davids,John P. Greene,D. J. Henderson,Gaurab Mukherjee,R. C. Pardo,Michael Paul,T. Pennington,D. Seweryniak,S. K. Sinha,Z. Zhou +16 more
TL;DR: The first observation of a maximum in the $S$-factor for fusion between two open-shell nuclei was made in this paper, which signals a strong sub-barrier hindrance.
