Now, as you drive past the property along the New England HWY you can see sizable herds of steers and heifers grazing happily on lush pastures. “The farm looks fantastic. We use the cattle to go through the paddocks after the horses. “We bought them at the right time and we are growing it up to be a small-scale cattle operation.” While winning a Blue Diamond or Golden Slipper might be of paramount importance over the coming years, Carlson’s pretty chuffed to be making his first foray into selling cattle online today under the Emirates Park banner.

However, in Galactic chemical evolution models, neutron-star mergers alone cannot reproduce the observed element abundance patterns of extremely metal-poor stars, which indicates the existence of other sites of r-process nucleosynthesis4–6. These sites may be investigated by studying the element abundance patterns of chemically primitive stars in the halo of the Milky Way, because these objects retain the nucleosynthetic signatures of the earliest generation of stars7–13.

After a core collapse supernova, part of the core may survive. It is very dense—as dense as an atomic nucleus—and is called a neutron star. [Recall that during core collapse the iron core (ashes of previous fusion reactions) is disintegrated into protons and neutrons, the protons combine with the surrounding electrons to make more neutrons, so the core becomes pure neutron matter. Because of this, core collapse can be halted if the core’s mass is between 1.4 (the Chandrasekhar limit) and about 3-4 solar masses, by neutron degeneracy.] What do you get if the core mass is less than 1.4 solar masses?

    One Or Several Populations of Fast Radio Burst Sources?

    One or several populations of fast radio burst sources? M. Caleb1, L. G. Spitler2 & B. W. Stappers1 1Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, the University of Manchester, Manchester, UK. 2Max-Planck-Institut fu¨r Radioastronomie, Bonn, Germany. arXiv:1811.00360v1 [astro-ph.HE] 1 Nov 2018 1 To date, one repeating and many apparently non-repeating fast radio bursts have been de- tected. This dichotomy has driven discussions about whether fast radio bursts stem from a single population of sources or two or more different populations. Here we present the arguments for and against. The field of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has increasingly gained momentum over the last decade. Overall, the FRBs discovered to date show a remarkable diversity of observed properties (see ref 1, http://frbcat.org and Fig. 1). Intrinsic properties that tell us something about the source itself, such as polarization and burst profile shape, as well as extrinsic properties that tell us something about the source’s environment, such as the magnitude of Faraday rotation and multi-path propagation effects, do not yet present a coherent picture. Perhaps the most striking difference is between FRB 121102, the sole repeating FRB2, and the more than 60 FRBs that have so far not been seen to repeat. The observed dichotomy suggests that we should consider the existence of multiple source populations, but it does not yet require it. Most FRBs to date have been discovered with single-pixel telescopes with relatively large angular resolutions. As a result, the non-repeating FRBs have typically been localized to no bet- ter than a few to tens of arcminutes on the sky (Fig.

Normally, those envelopes are rather diluted, and they do not change significantly the light produced in the majority of supernovae. 2 SLSNe are not equal to Hypernovae Hypernovae are not extremely luminous, but they have high kinetic energy of explosion.

    Explosive Nucleosynthesis in GRB Jets Accompanied by Hypernovae

    SLAC-PUB-12126 astro-ph/0601111 September 2006 Explosive Nucleosynthesis in GRB Jets Accompanied by Hypernovae Shigehiro Nagataki1,2, Akira Mizuta3, Katsuhiko Sato4,5 ABSTRACT Two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations are performed to investigate ex- plosive nucleosynthesis in a collapsar using the model of MacFadyen and Woosley (1999). It is shown that 56Ni is not produced in the jet of the collapsar suffi- ciently to explain the observed amount of a hypernova when the duration of the explosion is ∼10 sec, which is considered to be the typical timescale of explosion in the collapsar model. Even though a considerable amount of 56Ni is synthesized if all explosion energy is deposited initially, the opening angles of the jets become too wide to realize highly relativistic outflows and gamma-ray bursts in such a case. From these results, it is concluded that the origin of 56Ni in hypernovae associated with GRBs is not the explosive nucleosynthesis in the jet. We consider that the idea that the origin is the explosive nucleosynthesis in the accretion disk is more promising. We also show that the explosion becomes bi-polar naturally due to the effect of the deformed progenitor. This fact suggests that the 56Ni synthesized in the accretion disk and conveyed as outflows are blown along to the rotation axis, which will explain the line features of SN 1998bw and double peaked line features of SN 2003jd. Some fraction of the gamma-ray lines from 56Ni decays in the jet will appear without losing their energies because the jet becomes optically thin before a considerable amount of 56Ni decays as long as the jet is a relativistic flow, which may be observed as relativistically Lorentz boosted line profiles in future.

Received 2014 April 7; in original form 2013 November 29 ABSTRACT Recent observations of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) suggest that binary neutron star (NS) mergers can create highly magnetized, millisecond NSs. Sharp cut-offs in X-ray afterglow plateaus of some SGRBs hint at the gravitational collapse of these remnant NSs to black holes. The collapse of such ‘supramassive’ NSs also describes the blitzar model, a leading candidate for the progenitors of fast radio bursts (FRBs). The observation of an FRB associated with an SGRB would provide compelling evidence for the blitzar model and the binary NS merger scenario of SGRBs, and lead to interesting constraints on the NS equation of state. We predict the collapse times of supramassive NSs created in binary NS mergers, finding that such stars collapse ∼10–4.4 × 104 s (95 per cent confidence) after the merger. This directly impacts observations targeting NS remnants of binary NS mergers, providing the optimal window for high time resolution radio and X-ray follow-up of SGRBs and gravitational wave bursts.
