Jun 27, 2024 · The neutron inelastic scattering of carbon-12, populating the Hoyle state, is a reaction of interest for the triple-alpha process. The inverse process (neutron ...

Feb 14, 2024 · In 1954 Fred Hoyle postulated that a 7.65 MeV excited state in C had to exist for carbon-based life to develop on Earth. During stellar helium burning, such a ...

Dec 15, 2023 · Stars are driven by the release of nuclear energy. Two seminal papers in 1938 discussed the energy generation in the sun and the origin of the elements in our ...

Jun 24, 2024 · The state is considered to have played an essential role in the formation of carbon from three 𝛼 α s in stars, as is discussed in §3a. Many microscopic ...

Nov 9, 2023 · In this review, we discuss recent advancements in the study of clustering phenomena occurring in light nuclei, and their influence on nuclear structure, dy.

Dec 1, 2023 · However, abundances are derived at much later epochs, after stellar nucleosynthesis commenced. Stars produce heavy elements such as C, N, O, and Fe (“metals”), ...

May 31, 2024 · This suggests that many massive stars may undergo various degrees of envelope stripping shortly before exploding, and may therefore produce a considerable ...

Apr 8, 2024 · In 1954 Fred Hoyle postulated that a 7.65 MeV excited state in C had to exist for carbon-based life to develop on Earth. During stellar helium burning, such a ...

Jan 17, 2024 · When massive stars evolve into red supergiants, the convective envelope inflates and cools, while at low densities, opacity is dominated by electron scattering.

May 2, 2024 · Emphasizing both observational and theoretical aspects, this book provides a coherent intro- duction for astronomers, cosmologists, and astroparticle physicists ...
