Journal Article
Lawson, T. V., Pignatari, M., Stancliffe, R. J., Den Hartogh, J., Jones, S., Fryer, C. L., Gibson, B. K., & Lugaro, M. (2022). Radioactive nuclei in the early Solar system: analysis of the 15 isotopes produced by core-collapse supernovae. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 511(1), 886-902. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab3684

Short-lived radioactive isotopes (SLRs) with half-lives between 0.1 and 100 Myr can be used to probe the origin of the Solar system. In this work, we examine the core-collapse supernovae production of the 15 SLRs produced: 26Al, 36Cl, 41Ca, 53Mn, 60F...

Utilisation of CO2 as “Structure Modifier” of Inorganic Solids (2021)
Journal Article
Francesconi, M. G., Bennett, M. J., Benoit, D., & Dobson, I. (2022). Utilisation of CO2 as “Structure Modifier” of Inorganic Solids. Chemistry: a European journal, 28(6), Article e202103608. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.202103608

Utilisation of CO2 as a chemical reagent is challenging, due to the molecule’s inherent chemical stability. However, CO2 reacts promptly at high temperature (~1000 C) with alkaline-earth oxides to form carbonates and such reactions are used towards...

26Aluminum from Massive Binary Stars. II. Rotating Single Stars up to Core Collapse and Their Impact on the Early Solar System (2021)
Journal Article
Brinkman, H. E., Hartogh, J. W., Doherty, C. L., Pignatari, M., & Lugaro, M. (2021). 26Aluminum from Massive Binary Stars. II. Rotating Single Stars up to Core Collapse and Their Impact on the Early Solar System. The Astrophysical journal, 923(1), Article 47. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac25ea

Radioactive nuclei were present in the early solar system (ESS), as inferred from analysis of meteorites. Many are produced in massive stars, either during their lives or their final explosions. In the first paper of this series (Brinkman et al. 2019... Read More about 26Aluminum from Massive Binary Stars. II.

The vibrational properties of benzene on an ordered water ice surface (2021)
Journal Article
Clark, V. H., & Benoit, D. M. (2021). The vibrational properties of benzene on an ordered water ice surface. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 508(3), 3239-3250. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2670

We present a hybrid CCSD(T) + PBE-D3 approach to calculating the vibrational signatures for gas-phase benzene and benzene adsorbed on an ordered water ice surface. We compare the results of our method against experimentally recorded spectra and calcu... Read More about The vibrational properties of benzene on an ordered water ice surface.

129I and 247Cm in meteorites constrain the last astrophysical source of solar r-process elements (2021)
Journal Article
Côté, B., Eichler, M., Yagüe, A., Vassh, N., Mumpower, M. R., Világos, B., Soós, B., Arcones, A., Sprouse, T. M., Surman, R., Pignatari, M., Pető, M. K., Wehmeyer, B., Rauscher, T., & Lugaro, M.

The composition of the early Solar System can be inferred from meteorites. Many elements heavier than iron were formed by the rapid neutron capture process (r-process), but the astrophysical sources where this occurred remain poorly understood. We de...
