About 10 days ago, I read this in the Nature journal:
http://www.nature.com/news/collidin...mysteries-1.22829?WT.ec_id=NEWSDAILY-20171016
I quote: "Over the past decade or so, astrophysicists had come to believe that this was the most plausible mechanism to explain the abundance of the heavier elements of the periodic table1. "
Which is a more significant contributor to the nucleosynthesis of heavier than iron elements: supernovae or neutron star collisions? Any evidence available on this?
