r-process Nucleosynthesis and Radioactively Powered Transients from Magnetar Giant Flares

r-process Nucleosynthesis and Radioactively Powered Transients from Magnetar Giant Flares

We present nucleosynthesis and light-curve predictions for a new site of the rapid neutron capture process ( r -process) from magnetar giant flares (GFs). Motivated by observations indicating baryon ejecta from GFs, J. Cehula et al. proposed that mass ejection occurs after a shock is driven into the...
