Abstract

This paper examines nucleosynthesis in a low-mass neutron star crust that loses mass due to accretion in a close binary system and reaching a hydrodynamically unstable configuration explodes. The r-process proceeds mainly in the inner crust. Nucleosynthesis in the outer crust is an explosive process with a sharp increase in temperature caused by an outward-propagating shockwave. The number of heavy elements produced in a low-mass neutron star crust during the explosion is approximately 0.041 M ⊙ , which exceeds the number of heavy elements ejected as jets in the neutron star merger scenario.
