Gravitational-wave detectors have transformed the way we observe the Universe. Together with ground and space electromagnetic observatories, they have provided key insights into the long-standing ...

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 ...

The most direct current evidence for a single r-process event comes from the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II, which was polluted early in its history by a rare, high-yield source 14. Though a ...

Using a novel simulation model based on machine learning, an international research team at GSI/FAIR has succeeded in gaining a deeper understanding of element formation in stellar events such as ...
