abstract
We study the basic properties of three possible r-process scenarios (sites) and compare them to recent observations and theoretical simulations. We find that the common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) r-process scenario can account for the different observations of r-process nucleosynthesis, including the presence of r-process-rich low-metalicity stars in ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies. The neutron star (NS)-NS merger scenario and the collapsar scenario encounter some difficulties. Despite that, we conclude that it is very likely that more than one r-process scenario exists, with a significant contribution by the CEJSN r-process scenario. We give a prescription to include this scenario in population synthesis studies of the r-process.

Mixing neutron star material into the jets in the common envelope jets supernova r-process scenario
In the CEJSN scenario, the accretion disk can entrain up to ~0.01-0.03 M_sun of neutron star crust material via Kelvin-Helmholtz mixing, enhancing the r-process yield.
