The 20 pages that link to R-process, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar nucleosynthesisBroader topic: It accounts for heavy elements that slow capture cannot readily produce.

• Neutron starRelated: Neutron-rich merger ejecta can produce heavy elements through this process.

• Core-collapse supernovaRelated: Some core-collapse environments may contribute to this process and disperse newly formed nuclei.

• Neutron captureCompared with: Its neutron flux makes capture outpace beta decay, unlike the s-process.

• Uranium-238Related: Uranium-238 is produced through neutron-rich events involving rapid neutron capture.

• NucleosynthesisBroader topic: Its intense neutron flux rapidly assembles some of the heaviest elements.

• Nuclear astrophysicsBroader topic: It accounts for many heavy elements beyond the iron group.

• Multi-messenger astronomyRelated: Spectra of merger afterglows can test whether neutron-star collisions produce these elements.

• Neutron star mergerNarrower topic: The merger is a candidate site for producing r-process elements such as gold.

• Nuclear drip lineBroader topic: Its reaction paths can pass through nuclei whose binding limits remain uncertain.

• GW170817Related: The merger’s ejecta supplied evidence that neutron-star collisions forge heavy elements.

• Margaret BurbidgeRelated: B2FH distinguished this pathway from slow capture as another source of heavy elements.

• Binary neutron starRelated: Neutron-rich merger ejecta can synthesize r-process nuclei, including lanthanides.

• KilonovaRelated: Kilonova ejecta provide conditions for this process to synthesize heavy nuclei.

• S-processCompared with: Its rapid captures produce neutron-rich nuclei beyond the s-process path.

• B2FH paperBroader topic: It accounts for neutron-rich heavy elements that the slow process cannot make.

• Nuclear magic numberBroader topic: Nuclei near neutron shell closures slow the capture path and contribute to abundance peaks.

• Population II starRelated: Element patterns in some Population II stars reveal ancient r-process enrichment events.

• Presolar grainRelated: Some grain signatures have been used to investigate heavy-element production histories.

• Isotopes of uraniumRelated: It is a principal astrophysical process that creates the heavy nuclei from which uranium descends.
