2 Nuclear Astrophysics with Neutron Facilities Falk Herwig Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, USA Theoretical Astrophysics and Los Alamos Neutron Science Center
3 Three fundamental (nuclear?) astrophysical questions: How did the first stars and their cosmological environment in the early universe form and evolve? 1. How do galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve? 2. What is the origin of the elements, in particular the transiron elements made in the r-process? Improve stellar nucleosynthesis models: 1. Nuclear Astrophysics with Neutron Facilities: s-process as a diagnostic tool for fundamental processes in stars 2. Nuclear reaction rate input physics 3. Mixing in the stellar interior: 1. Rotation, magnetic fields, convection - in 1D 2. Hydrodynamics of nuclear burn and convective mixing
4 1 st stars 2 nd stars
5 Dark matter Evolution: the formation of the nurseries of the first stars QuickTime and a YUV420 codec decompressor are needed to see this picture. D. Whalen, UCSD, 2003, 100kpc 3D box projection
6 1. How did the first stars and their cosmological environment in the early universe form and evolve? Distribution of baryonic matter clustering around the dark matter halo in a hydrodynamics and N-body simulation at redshift z~17 (O'Shea etal. 2005).
7 Supernova Explosions 3D SPH core collapse simlulation, Chris Fryer, LANL, 2002.
8 Add a primordial intermediate mass star
9 (mix of?) 1 st stars stars + = observations of 2 nd stars self or external pollution 2 nd
10 The second star HE Low mass star -> long lifetime [Fe/H] = -5.3 Christlieb etal 2002
11 The second star HE Low mass star -> long lifetime, [Fe/H] = -5.3 Three possible sites of origin for the observed abundance pattern: 1. one or multiple first SN and /or intermediate mass stars 2. self-pollution 3. external pollution by binary AGB companion Christlieb etal 2002
12 Umeda & Nomoto 2003: 25M sun mixing and fallback SN
13 2. How do galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve? Framework: merging history within a ΛCDM universe. Fig: A simulation of the baryon halo built up through accretion of 100 satellite galaxies. (Bland-Hawthorn & Freeman, Science 287, 2000)
14 2. How do galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve? Figure 1 Observed metallicity distribution In M 31, based on photometry, color codes metallicity (Ferguson etal 2002). Figure 2 Galactic chemical evolut ion model, color codes metallicity(font etal 2004).
15 Stellar abundances to reconstruct the merger history of galaxies Abundances of stars in the galaxy halo and in satellite dwarf galaxies Venn etal 2004
16 Abundances of stars in the galaxy halo and in satellite dwarf galaxies Venn etal 2004
17 Stellar abundances to reconstruct the merger history of galaxies Abundances of stars in the galaxy halo and in satellite dwarf galaxies Venn etal 2004
18 3. What is the origin of the elements, in particular the trans-iron elements made in the r-process?
19 What is the s-process? The elements are made by a number of distinct nuclear processes with distinct signatures: some involve the capture of a charged particle like protons or α-particles some are induced by neutron-capture In the s-process the n-captures are slower than subsequent β-decays. Typical neutron densities are 7 < log N n < 10.

23 [X/Fe] New stellar evolution yields: Overproduction of EMP AGB stars Z = 10-4, Herwig 2004, ApJS 155 mass number
24 Origin of Nitrogen in the early universe (with Johnson, Beers & Christlieb) 1. Where does the N in the C-rich stars come from? 2. Where are the EMP stars poluted by the N-rich IMS?
25 What can we do to learn more about the second stars? Physics input for theoretical models, e.g. nuclear reaction rates (Herwig & Austin 2004, ApJ Letters)
26 Three fundamental (nuclear?) astrophysical questions: How did the first stars and their cosmological environment in the early universe form and evolve? 1. How do galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve? 2. What is the origin of the elements, in particular the transiron elements made in the r-process? Improve stellar nucleosynthesis models: 1. Nuclear Astrophysics with Neutron Facilities: s-process as a diagnostic tool for fundamental processes in stars 2. Nuclear reaction rate input physics 3. Mixing in the stellar interior: 1. Rotation, magnetic fields, convection - in 1D 2. Hydrodynamics of nuclear burn and convective mixing
27 s-process as a diagnostic tool: The Observable Dust forms in the cool mass-loss outflows of s-process generating stars (low-mass giants) Individual dust grains extracted from primitive meteorites can be associated with their individual site of origin around one star... tracing that star's individual isotopic signature.

37 Comparison of incompressible (1% entropy contrast) convection LANL code QuickTime and a Animation decompressor are needed to see this picture. FLASH

39 Concluding Remarks I. Nuclear Astrophysics can in the future help to answer fundamental questions of astronomy - enter astrophysics mainstream?! II. Full and detailed grids of stellar yield calculations are needed! III.Nuclear astrophysics with neutron facilities and radioactive targets can improve fundamental stellar physics! IV. The Age of Spectroscopic Surveys has arrived: HK, HES, SEGUE, AAOmega, LAMOST, RAVE, VLT/FLAMES, GAIA, LSST a. Example SEGUE: candidates for [Fe/H] < -3 b. Science case: What happened after the Big Bang? Origin of the elements? How did Galaxies form and evolve?
