Abstract

Fe-60(half-life: 2.6Myr) and Pu-244(half-life: 81Myr) were present in the early solar system. However, these nuclides have been extinct now due to the half-life. These nuclides are synthesized in explosive environment such as supernova and neutron star merger. If the explosive event occurs at the vicinity of solar system, nuclides synthesized there should be observed as temporal variation. Growth rate of manganese crust was determined using 10Be. We detected 60Fe input 2Myr ago and 6Myr ago from temporal variation of 60Fe. In addition, we could successfully detect 244Pu. Comparing 60Fe/244Pu ratio, we presume production ratio in the r-process and origin of the event in which the 60Fe and 244Pu were synthesized.
