摘要:Using the stellar evolution code Kepler, which includes a full adaptive nuclear reaction network,
we have performed calculations of neutrino driven winds from the surface of protoneutron stars
which include hydrodynamics, all strong processes, and all weak processes of importance. In this
environment, neutrino interactions push the material in the wind to high entropies and at later
times weak charged current interactions tend to reduce the electron fraction to values possibly
favorable for an r-process. We have also included time dependent neutrino luminosities and energies
so as to follow the evolution of the wind from the proton rich stage through the neutron
rich stage to calculate integrated nucleosynthetic yields. Here, we report preliminary results of
our calculations and discuss future directions for this work.
