r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Neutron Star Mergers with the New Nuclear Reaction Network SkyNet
At the Big Bang, only the lightest elements, mainly hydrogen and helium, were produced. Stars synthesize heavier elements, such as helium, carbon, and oxygen, from lighter ones through nuclear fusion. Iron-group elements are created in supernovae (both type Ia and core-collapse). It has been known f...
