Nucleosynthesis in outflows from the inner regions of collapsars.

PRUET J., THOMPSON T.A. and HOFFMAN R.D.

Abstract (from CDS):

We consider nucleosynthesis in outflows originating from the inner regions of viscous accretion disks formed after the collapse of a rotating massive star. We show that windlike outflows driven by viscous and neutrino heating can efficiently synthesize Fe group elements moving at near-relativistic velocities. The mass of 56Ni synthesized and the asymptotic velocities attained in our calculations are in accord with those inferred from observations of SN 1998bw and SN 2003dh. These steady windlike outflows are generally proton-rich, characterized by only modest entropies, and consequently synthesize essentially nothing heavier than the Fe group elements. We also discuss bubble-like outflows resulting from rapid energy deposition in localized regions near or in the accretion disk. These intermittent ejecta emerge with low electron fraction and are a promising site for the synthesis of the A=130 r-process peak elements.
