Cover Story: We present a freeze-out approach for describing the formation of heavy elements in expanding nuclear matter. Applying concepts used in modeling heavy-ion collisions or ternary fission, we determine the abundances of heavy elements taking into account Pauli blocking and Mott dissolution of nuclei as medium effects in nuclear matter. With this approach, we find the Lagrange parameters related to temperature and chemical potentials of neutrons and protons which correspond to a universal distribution of heavy elements. Our scenario may be of interest in light of massive objects discovered with the James Webb Space Telescope in the early Universe and opens new perspectives on the universality of the measured r-process patterns and the lack of observations of population III stars. View this paper

Understanding the diversity of star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies is key to reconstructing their evolutionary paths. Traditional models often assume parametric forms such as delayed-τ or exponentially declining models, which may not refl...

20 October 2025

In the framework of the quasigroup approach to conservation laws in general relativity, we show how the infinite-parametric Newman–Unti group of asymptotic symmetries can be reduced to the Poincaré quasigroup. We compute Noether’s...

Comets are chemically rich and thermally extreme, spanning surface temperatures from ~50 K in the Oort Cloud to >1000 K for sungrazing bodies. These conditions may support key steps of prebiotic chemistry, including the synthesis of nucleic acid p...

The anti-correlation between the equivalent width of the neutral narrow Fe Kα line and the 2–10 keV luminosity (the Iwasawa–Taniguchi effect) in the nuclear regions of active galactic nuclei has been debated in recent years. With th...

The recent discovery of an extremely light and small central compact object (CCO) within the supernova remnant HESS J1731-347, with mass 0.77−0.17+0.20M⊙ and radius 10.4−0.78+0.86 km, is challenging our understanding of neutron star...

The Mass Profile of NGC 3268 from Its Stellar Kinematics

  • Juan Pablo Caso,
  • Bruno Javier De Bórtoli and
  • Tom Richtler

16 October 2025

The mass profile of the central galaxy of the Antlia cluster, NGC 3268, is studied through a spherical Jeans analysis, combined with a Bayesian approach. The prior distributions are derived from dark matter simulations. The observational dataset cons...
