8 Oldest observed stars The very metal-deficient star HE Silver Eu Gold Elemental abundances in: - ultra metal-poor stars and - solar system Robust r-process for 56<Z<83 Scatter for lighter heavy elements, Z~40 How many r-processes contribute to solar system and UMP stars abundances? Sneden, Cowan, Gallino 2008
9 Trends with metallicity core-collapse supernovae type Ia Fe and Mg produced in same site: core-collapse supernovae Significant scatter at low metallicities r-process production rare in the early Galaxy Mg and Fe production is not coupled to r-process production Sneden, Cowan, Gallino 2008
10 The r-process: what do we know? Solar system: residual r-process r-process peaks and path fast neutron capture Astrophysical environment: explosive and high neutron density UMP stars: robust process from 2 nd to 3 rd peak contribution from other process(es) below 2 nd peak Chemical evolution: r-process does not occur in every core-collapse supernovae What do we need to know better? Astrophysical site(s) Nuclear physics
11 Where does the r-process occur? Core-collapse supernovae Neutron star mergers Neutron stars Cas A (Chandra X-Ray observatory) Neutron-star merger simulation (S. Rosswog) neutrino-driven winds (Woosley et al. 1994,...) shocked surface layers (Ning, Qian, Meyer 2007) spiral arms neutrino-driven wind jets (Winteler et al. 2012) neutrino-induced in He shell (Banerjee, Haxton, Qian 2011) (Lattimer & Schramm 1974, Freiburghaus et al. 1999,..., Goriely et al. 2011)
12 Core-collapse supernova simulations Hot bubble Shock Proto-neutron star Long-time hydrodynamical simulations: - ejecta evolution from ~5ms after bounce to ~3s in 2D (Arcones & Janka 2011) and ~10s in 1D (Arcones et al. 2007) - explosion triggered by neutrinos - detailed study of nucleosynthesis-relevant conditions

17 Neutrino-driven wind parameters r-process high neutron-to-seed ratio (Yn/Yseed~100) - Short expansion time scale: inhibit α-process and formation of seed nuclei - High entropy: photons dissociate seed nuclei into nucleons - Electron fraction: Ye<0.5 Otsuki et al Ye=0.45 Conditions are not realized in recent simulations (Arcones et al. 2007, Fischer et al. 2010, Hüdepohl et al. 2010, Roberts et al. 2010, Arcones & Janka 2011) Swind = kb/nuc τ = few ms Ye ?

19 Lighter heavy elements in neutrino-driven winds Elements from Sr to Ag produced in neutrino winds First comparison: nucleosynthesis based on simulations with observations (Arcones & Montes 2011) Weak r-process: charged-particle reactions + neutron capture (Hoffman et al. 1992,..., Wanajo et al. 2010, Farouqui et al. 2010) proton number (Z) neutron rich LEPP: Lighter Element Primary Process observations Honda et al (Travaglio et al. 2004, Montes et al. 2007)
20 Neutron or proton rich? Wind electron fraction still uncertain due to neutrino-matter interactions at high densities Fischer et al 2010 Woosley et al 1994 Arcones et al 2007 Hüdepohl et al 2010 Lea/Len = 1 Lea/Len = 1.1 Qian & Woosley 1996 neutron rich: (Δ=mn-mp) proton rich Elements from Sr to Ag produced also in proton-rich winds (Arcones & Montes 2011) vp-process (Fröhlich et al. 2006, Pruet et al. 2006, Wanajo et al. 2006,...) observations Honda et al New studies: neutron rich (Martinez-Pinedo et al. 2012, Roberts & Reddy 2012)

24 Neutron star mergers
25 Neutron star mergers Neutron-star merger simulation (S. Rosswog) Right conditions for a successful r-process (Lattimer & Schramm 1974, Freiburghaus et al. 1999,..., Goriely et al. 2011) Do they occur early enough to explain oldest star abundances (Argast et al. 2004)?
26 Neutron star mergers and GCE Do neutron star mergers occur early enough to explain UMP star abundances? Argast et al. 2004: galactic chemical evolution models r-process from: core-collapse supernovae neutron-star mergers GCE model observations Open questions: amount of mass ejected event rate
27 Neutron star mergers Neutron-star merger simulation (S. Rosswog) Right conditions for a successful r-process (Lattimer & Schramm 1974, Freiburghaus et al. 1999, Goriely et al. 2011) Do they occur early enough to explain oldest star abundances (Argast et al. 2004)? Korobkin, Rosswog, Arcones, Winteler (2012) Systematic nucleosynthesis study: 19 x (neutron star - neutron star) 2 x (neutron star - black hole) robust r-process: - extreme neutron-rich conditions - several fission cycles

29 Radioactive decay in neutron star mergers r-process heating affects merger dynamics: late X-ray emission in short GRBs (Metzger, Arcones, Quataert, Martinez-Pinedo 2010) Transient with kilo-nova luminosity (Metzger et al. 2010, Roberts et al. 2011, Goriely et al. 2011): direct observation of r-process, EM counter part to GW Multi messenger (e.g. Metzger & Berger 2012, Rosswog 2012, Bauswein et al. 2013)
30 r-process and extreme neutron-rich nuclei nuclear physics: masses, beta decays, neutron capture, fission barriers and yield distribution,... measured at GSI masses measured at the ESR 82 r-proces path stable nuclei r-process 126 will be measured at will be measured with CR at FAIR Z nuclides with known masses 8 8 N 20 28
31 Nuclear masses and r-process Trajectory from hydrodynamical simulations + entropy (S ~ T 3 /ρ) increased by a factor two (Arcones et al. 2007) Compare four different nuclear mass models: FRDM (Möller et al. 1995) ETFSI-Q (Pearson et al. 1996) HFB-17 (Goriely et al. 2009) Duflo&Zuker Can we link masses (neutron separation energies) to the final r-process abundances? Arcones & Martinez-Pinedo, 2011
