Production of the entire range of r-process nuclides by black hole accretion disc outflows from neutron star mergers
Abstract
We consider r-process nucleosynthesis in outflows from black hole accretion discs formed in double neutron star and neutron star–black hole mergers. These outflows, powered by angular momentum transport processes and nuclear recombination, represent an important – and in some cases dominant – contribution to the total mass ejected by the merger. Here we calculate the nucleosynthesis yields from disc outflows using thermodynamic trajectories from hydrodynamic simulations, coupled to a nuclear reaction network. We find that outflows produce a robust abundance pattern around the second r-process peak (mass number A ~ 130), independent of model parameters, with significant production of A < 130 nuclei. This implies that dynamical ejecta with high electron fraction may not be required to explain the observed abundances of r-process elements in metal poor stars. Disc outflows reach the third peak (A ~ 195) in most of our simulations, although the amounts produced depend sensitively on the disc viscosity, initial mass or entropy of the torus, and nuclear physics inputs. Some of our models produce an abundance spike at A = 132 that is absent in the Solar system r-process distribution. The spike arises from convection in the disc and depends on the treatment of nuclear heatingmore »
