Spectroscopic r-Process Abundance Retrieval for Kilonovae II: Lanthanides in the Inferred Abundance Patterns of Multi-Component Ejecta from the GW170817 Kilonova
Nicholas Vieira, John J. Ruan, Daryl Haggard +3
In kilonovae, freshly-synthesized -process elements imprint features on optical spectra, as observed in AT2017gfo, the counterpart to the GW170817 binary neutron star merger. Ho…
KilonovAE: Exploring Kilonova Spectral Features with Autoencoders
N. M. Ford, Nicholas Vieira, John J. Ruan +1
Kilonovae are likely a key site of heavy r-process element production in the Universe, and their optical/infrared spectra contain insights into both the properties of the ejecta an…
Spectroscopic r-Process Abundance Retrieval for Kilonovae I: The Inferred Abundance Pattern of Early Emission from GW170817
Nicholas Vieira, John J. Ruan, Daryl Haggard +4
Freshly-synthesized r-process elements in kilonovae ejecta imprint absorption features on optical spectra, as observed in the GW170817 binary neutron star merger. These spectral fe…
The Neutrino Fast Flavor Instability in Three Dimensions
Sherwood Richers, Donald Willcox, Nicole ford
Neutrino flavor instabilities have the potential to shuffle neutrinos between electron, mu, and tau flavor states, modifying the core-collapse supernova mechanism and the heavy ele…
Dynamics of Laterally Propagating Flames in X-ray Bursts. II. Realistic Burning & Rotation
A. Harpole, N. M. Ford, K. Eiden +4
We continue to investigate two-dimensional laterally propagating flames in type I X-ray bursts using fully compressible hydrodynamics simulations. In the current study we relax pre…
Particle-in-cell Simulation of the Neutrino Fast Flavor Instability
Sherwood Richers, Don E. Willcox, Nicole M. Ford +1
Neutrinos drive core-collapse supernovae, launch outflows from neutron star merger accretion disks, and set the ratio of protons to neutrons in ejecta from both systems that genera…
