The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of
the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some …

We predict the limits of existence of atomic nuclei, the proton and neutron drip lines, from the
light through medium-mass regions. Starting from a chiral two-and three-nucleon interaction …

The kilonova (KN) associated with the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817 is the
only known electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source. Here we produce a …

Nuclear masses are predicted with the Bayesian neural networks by learning the mass
surface of even-even nuclei and the correlation energies to their neighboring nuclei. By …

When binary systems of neutron stars merge, a very small fraction of their rest mass is
ejected, either dynamically or secularly. This material is neutron-rich and its nucleosynthesis …

This is an exciting time for the study of r-process nucleosynthesis. Recently, a neutron star
merger GW170817 was observed in extraordinary detail with gravitational waves and …

Almost all of the elements heavier than hydrogen that are present in our solar system were
produced by nuclear burning processes either in the early universe or at some point in the …

We present a nucleus-dependent valence-space approach for calculating ground and
excited states of nuclei, which generalizes the shell-model in-medium similarity …

Background: The chart of the nuclides is limited by particle drip lines beyond which nuclear
stability to proton or neutron emission is lost. Predicting the range of particle-bound isotopes …
