Excitation and Recombination Data for Nd I-V with Applications to Kilonovae
N. Ferguson, L. P. Mulholland, M. McCann +2
Neodymium (Nd), a key r-process element, significantly influences the opacity and emergent spectra of kilonovae resulting from neutron star mergers. We present new atomic data for…
Late-time emission-line profiles from kilonova models
S. A. Sim, O. Just, Z. Xiong +10
Numerical simulations suggest that neutron star mergers eject material with complex, non-spherical density and composition distributions. Here we use two-dimensional configurations…
Constraints on the presence of platinum and gold in the spectra of the kilonova AT2017gfo
James H. Gillanders, Michael McCann, Stuart A. Sim. Stephen J. Smartt +1
Binary neutron star mergers are thought to be one of the dominant sites of production for rapid neutron capture elements, including platinum and gold. Since the discovery of the bi…
