  1. 835. The turbulent hydrodynamics and nuclear astrophysics of anomalous stars from the early universe
    Falk Herwig (University of Victoria)

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The anomalous abundances that can be found in the most metal-poor stars reflect the evidently large diversity of nuclear production sites in stars and stellar explosions, as well as the cosmological conditions for the formation and evolution of the first generations of stars. Significant progress in our predictive understanding of nuclear production in the early universe comes now within reach...

  2. 454. Quark-Novae : Implications to High-Energy and Nuclear Astrophysics
    Prof. Rachid Ouyed (University of Calgary)

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    After a brief account of the physics of the Quark-Nova (explosive transition of a neutron star to a quark star), I will discuss its implications and applications to High Energy and Nuclear Astrophysics.  The talk will focus on Quark-Novae in the context of Super-Luminous Supernovae and in the context of the origin of heavy elements (r-process nucleosynthesis). The Quark-Nova has the...

  3. 712. Hadronic-to-Quark-Matter Phase Transition: Effects of Strange Quark Seeding.
    Mr Luis Welbanks (University of Calgary)

    Oral (Student, Not in Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)
    When a massive star depletes its fuel it may undergo a spectacular explosion; the supernova. If the star is massive enough, it can undergo a second explosion; the Quark nova. The origin for this second explosion has been argued to be the transition from Hadronic-to-Quark-Matter (Ouyed et al. 2013). Hadronic-to-Quark-Matter phase transition occurs when hadronic (nucleated) matter under high...
