The Imprint of Nova Nucleosynthesis in Presolar Grains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infrared and ultraviolet observations of nova light curves have confirmed grain formation in their expanding shells that are ejected into the interstellar medium by a thermonuclear runaway. In this paper, we present isotopic ratios

A review of the present status of nova modeling is made, with a special emphasis on some specific aspects. What are the main nucleosynthetic products of the explosion and how do they depend on the white dwarf properties (e.g. mass, chemical composition: CO or ONe)? What’s the imprint of nova nucleosynthesis on meteoritic presolar grains? How can gamma rays, if observed with present or future in...
متن کاملProspects in Classical Nova Modeling and Nucleosynthesis
Classical novae are fascinating stellar events, at the crossroads of astrophysics, nuclear physics and cosmochemistry. In this review, we outline the history of nova modeling with special emphasis on recent advances and perspectives in multidimensional simulations. Among the topics that are covered, we analyze the interplay between nova outbursts and the Galactic chemical abundances, the synthe...
متن کاملPresolar Graphite from the Murchison Meteorite: Imprint of Nucleosynthesis and Grain Formation
Presolar graphite is the carrier of Ne-E(L) and most 22 Ne in Ne-E(L) had long been attributed to radiogenic decay of 22 Na from novae. Of presolar graphite grains with a range of density (1.6-2.2g/cm 3 ), low-density graphite grains extracted from the Murchison meteorite are characterized by 18 O excesses and Si isotopic anomalies and are believed to have formed in supernova ejecta. From noble...
متن کاملNuclear Ashes: Reviewing Thirty Years of Nucleosynthesis in Classical Novae
One of the observational evidences in support of the thermonuclear runaway model for the classical nova outburst relies on the accompanying nucleosynthesis. In this paper, we stress the relevant role played by nucleosynthesis in our understanding of the nova phenomenon by constraining models through a comparison with both the atomic abundance determinations from the ejecta and the isotopic rati...
متن کاملSupernova Nucleosynthesis and Application to the Isotopic Ratios of Individual Presolar Grains
Introduction: Presolar grains found in primitive meteorites have large isotopic heterogeneities of orders of magnitude. Because of the large heterogeneities, presolar grains are thought to have traces of the nucleosynthesis before they were formed [1]. Silicon carbide (SiC), low density graphite, and silicon nitride are believed to be formed in the ejecta of type II supernovae [1,2]. Their isot...
