Theoretical study of Th III energy levels and transitions for applications to kilonova spectra
Laima Kitovienė, Gediminas Gaigalas, Pavel Rynkun +3
The neutron star merger is a promising site of heavy element production. By producing heavy elements, the neutron star merger gives rise to a thermal transient called a kilonova. S…
Systematic opacity calculations for kilonovae -- II. Improved atomic data for singly ionized lanthanides
Daiji Kato, Masaomi Tanaka, Gediminas Gaigalas +2
Lanthanides play most important roles in the opacities for kilonova, ultraviolet-optical-infrared emission from neutron star mergers. Although several efforts have been made to con…
Theoretical investigation of energy levels and transitions for Ce III with applications to kilonova spectra
G. Gaigalas, P. Rynkun, N. Domoto +3
Doubly ionized cerium (Ce) is one of the most important ions to understand the kilonova spectra. In particular, near-infrared (NIR) transitions of Ce III between the ground…
Properties of Kilonovae from Dynamical and Post-Merger Ejecta of Neutron Star Mergers
Masaomi Tanaka, Daiji Kato, Gediminas Gaigalas +8
Ejected material from neutron star mergers give rise to electromagnetic emission powered by radioactive decays of r-process nuclei, which is so called kilonova or macronova. While…
