Beta-Particle Transport and Thermalization in Kilonova Ejecta with Detailed Atomic Microphysics
Zachary L. Andalman, Christopher L. Fryer, Christopher J. Fontes +2
When two neutron stars collide, they eject material containing heavy nuclei formed by the rapid neutron capture process (-process). As these nuclei decay, they power a bright op…
Multidisciplinary Science in the Multimessenger Era
Eric Burns, Christopher L. Fryer, Ivan Agullo +82
Astrophysical observations of the cosmos allow us to probe extreme physics and answer foundational questions on our universe. Modern astronomy is increasingly operating under a hol…
Kilonova Light-Curve Interpolation with Neural Networks
Yinglei Peng, Marko Ristić, Atul Kedia +7
Kilonovae are the electromagnetic transients created by the radioactive decay of freshly synthesized elements in the environment surrounding a neutron star merger. To study the fun…
On a spectral method for -particle bound excitation collisions in kilonovae
Ryan T. Wollaeger, Chris L. Fryer, Robert Chiodi +9
The interaction of -particles with the weakly ionized plasma background is an important mechanism for powering the kilonova transient signal from neutron star mergers. For this…
The Effect of the Velocity Distribution on Kilonova Emission
Chris L. Fryer, Aimee L. Hungerford, Ryan T. Wollaeger +7
The electromagnetic emission from the non-relativistic ejecta launched in neutron star mergers (either dynamically or through a disk wind) has the potential to probe both the total…
