Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleosynthesis in Chandrasekhar Mass Models for Type Ia Supernovae and Constraints on Progenitor Systems and Burning-Front Propagation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate explosive nucleosynthesis in Chandrasekhar mass models for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to obtain new constraints on the rate of matter accretion onto the progenitor white dwarf and on the ignition density of central carbon deflagration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutrino-induced nucleosynthesis of A>64 nuclei: the nu p process
Carla Fröhlich,Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo,M. Liebendörfer,M. Liebendörfer,Friedrich-Karl Thielemann,Eduardo Bravo,William Raphael Hix,Karlheinz Langanke,Nikolaj Thomas Zinner +8 more
TL;DR: The nu p process as mentioned in this paper is a nucleosynthesis process that occurs in supernovae (and possibly gamma-ray bursts) when strong neutrino fluxes create proton-rich ejecta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reexpansion Pulmonary Edema
TL;DR: Since the outcome of RPE was fatal in 11 of 53 cases reviewed (20%), physicians treating lung collapse must be aware of the possible causes and endeavor to prevent the occurrence of this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron capture rates on nuclei and implications for stellar core collapse.

TL;DR: This work has calculated rates for electron capture on nuclei with mass numbers A=65-112 for the temperatures and densities appropriate for core collapse to find that these rates are large enough so that, in contrast to previous assumptions, electron capture in nuclei dominates over capture on free protons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal Disruption and Ignition of White Dwarfs by Moderately Massive Black Holes
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical investigation of the tidal disruption of white dwarfs by moderately massive black holes, with particular reference to the centers of dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, is presented.
