3D simulations find that the convective Urca process reduces mixing efficiency near the convective boundary in a simmering white dwarf but does not restrict the overall size of the convection zone, with the A=23 pair having the largest effect.

3D simulations show the convective Urca process substantially reduces the convection zone size in a simmering white dwarf, though convection extends past the Urca shell.
Free neutrons survive r-process freeze-out in fast ejecta of neutron star mergers and their beta-decay heating produces a visible early kilonova precursor for mass fractions above ~0.05.

Simulating the Convective Urca Process with Multiple Urca Pairs in a Simmering White Dwarf
3D simulations find that the convective Urca process reduces mixing efficiency near the convective boundary in a simmering white dwarf but does not restrict the overall size of the convection zone, with the A=23 pair having the largest effect.

Nucleosynthesis in the fast ejecta of a neutron star merger
Free neutrons survive r-process freeze-out in fast ejecta of neutron star mergers and their beta-decay heating produces a visible early kilonova precursor for mass fractions above ~0.05.
