Studies of Tz= -3/2 nuclei of astrophysical interest
2011
This thesis presents a summary of experimental studies of -decaying Tz = 3=2 nuclei 23Al and 31Cl. The properties of these nuclei and the respective -decay daughters, 23Mg and 31S, have an in uence on the end products of ONe nova outbursts. The experiments were carried out at the IGISOL facility in the Accelerator laboratory of University of Jyväskylä and at the Cyclotron institute of Texas A&M University. The mass excess of 23Al was determined with Penning trap mass spectrometry by using the JYFLTRAP setup at IGISOL facility. The new mass excess is two orders of magnitude more precise than the previous value. A good agreement between theory and experimental values was found when applying…
Progress on nuclear reaction rates affecting the stellar production of 26Al
2023
Abstract The radioisotope 26Al is a key observable for nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy and the environment of the early Solar System. To properly interpret the large variety of astronomical and meteoritic data, it is crucial to understand both the nuclear reactions involved in the production of 26Al in the relevant stellar sites and the physics of such sites. These range from the winds of low- and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch stars; to massive and very massive stars, both their Wolf–Rayet winds and their final core-collapse supernovae (CCSN); and the ejecta from novae, the explosions that occur on the surface of a white dwarf accreting material from a stellar companion. Several r…
