Description
One of the open question of the r-process is whether neutron star mergers are the only site or whether there is an additional (rare) r-process site, possibly related to supernovae. In this talk, I will discuss neutron star and black hole distributions from core-collapse supernovae and how they may fit in with the notion of an additional rare r-process site.
