The discovery of the currently known most neutron- and proton-rich nuclei is compiled. The compilation includes the year and method of discovery of the last known bound and the first unbound nuclei along the neutron and proton driplines.
This paper reports on the discovery of the B_c meson.
[abridged] Measurements of relative isotope abundances can provide unique insights into the formation and evolution histories of celestial bodies. The five stable isotopes of titanium are used to study the early history of the solar system…
The existence of nuclei with exotic combinations of protons and neutrons provides fundamental information on the forces acting between nucleons. The maximum number of neutrons a given number of protons can bind, neutron drip line1, is only…
We describe the parameterization of a tungsten-hydrogen empirical potential designed for use with large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of highly irradiated tungsten containing hydrogen isotope atoms, and report test results.…
This short encyclopedia article, reviewing current information on neutron stars, is intended for a broad scientific audience.
Using radio observations with the Green Bank Telescope, evidence has now been found for a second five-membered ring in the dense cloud Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 (TMC-1). Based on additional observations of an ongoing, large-scale,…
We study Uranium isotopes and surrounding elements at very large neutron number excess. Relativistic mean field and Skyrme-type approaches with different parametrizations are used in the study. Most models show clear indications for…
We quantify various possible entanglement measures for the four particles GHZ entangled state that has been produced experimentally [C. Sackett et al, Nature 404, 256-259 (2000)].
We review in this talk some aspects of the exciting field of hyperon polarization phenomena in high energy reactions, over the last twenty years or so. On the experimental side, a large amount of significant polarization data for hyperon…
The 2017 update of the discovery of nuclide project is presented. 34 new nuclides were observed for the first time in 2017. However, the assignment of six previously identified nuclides had to be retracted.
We are still in the early days of exoplanet discovery. Astronomers are beginning to model the atmospheres and interiors of exoplanets and have developed a deeper understanding of processes of planet formation and evolution. However, we have…
The present status of our understanding of onium production is reviewed. Different models are described and comparisons of theoretical predictions with experimental data are given.
Superbursts were discovered at the beginning of this millennium. Just like type-I X-ray bursts, they are thought to be due to thermonuclear shell flashes on neutron stars, only igniting much deeper. With respect to type-I bursts, they last…
The past century of interstellar dust has brought us from first ignoring it to finding that it is an important component of the interstellar medium and plays an important role in the evolution of galaxies, the formation of stars and…
I give a summary of the HSTEP project: an effort to calculate the physical properties of the known transiting extrasolar planets using a homogeneous approach. I discuss the motivation for the project, list the 83 planets which have already…
The status of some of the recently discovered heavy hadrons is presented.
Rare isotopes are most often studied through nuclear reactions. Nuclear reactions can be used to obtain detailed structure information but also in connection to astrophysics to determine specific capture rates. In order to extract the…
More than twenty papers on the development of this model have been published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society from 2010 to the present. Whilst some contain work that is essential for the development of the model, others…
The purpose of the present paper is to clarify, as far as it is possible, the overall picture of experimental results in the field of non-conventional phenomena in nuclear matter published in scientific literature, accumulated in the last…
