r-process abundances in neutron-rich merger ejecta given different theoretical nuclear physics inputs

Dataset ·

This data release contains nucleosynthesis predictions for the r-process abundances presented in Côté, Eichler, Yagüe, Vassh et al. (2021) for compact object merger ejecta based on the publicly available simulation trajectories of Rosswog et al. (2013). All ejecta for the merger scenarios considered here are very neutron-rich (Ye ~ 0.016-0.11). Calculations were performed with the PRISM code (Mumpower et al. 2018) which accounts for nuclear reheating (here with a reheating efficiency of 50%). Results are reported for several different theoretical nuclear physics inputs but all calculations make use of the GEF fission yield prescription (see Vassh et al. 2019). All abundances are given at 1 Myr (10^6 years) post-merger. Please see the README file for more details and references. When using these nucleosynthesis yields, please cite this Zenodo data release (Vassh et al. 2021), and refer to Vassh et al. (2019) and Côté, Eichler, Yagüe, Vassh et al. (2021) for further details on the nuclear data applied as well as Rosswog et al. (2013), Piran et al. (2013), and Korobkin et al. (2012) for further details on the merger ejecta trajectories.
