Enhancements of Electron-Atom Collisions due to Pauli Repulsion in Neutron-Star Magnetic Fields
Thomas Gomez, Mark Zammit, Igor Bray +2
Neutron star surfaces and atmospheres are unique environments that sustain the largest-known magnetic fields in the universe. Our knowledge of neutron star material properties, inc…
Heavy element nucleosynthesis associated with a gamma-ray burst
James H. Gillanders, Eleonora Troja, Chris L. Fryer +9
Kilonovae are a novel class of astrophysical transients, and the only observationally-confirmed site of rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis (the r-process) in the Universe. To da…
Monte Carlo Radiation Transport for Astrophysical Transients Powered by Circumstellar Interaction
Gururaj A. Wagle, Emmanouil Chatzopoulos, Ryan Wollaeger +1
In this paper, we introduce \texttt{SuperLite}, an open-source Monte Carlo radiation transport code designed to produce synthetic spectra for astrophysical transient phenomena affe…
The STAG Code: A Fully Relativistic Super Transition Array Calculation Using Green's Functions
Nathanael Gill, Christopher Fontes, Charles Starrett
Calculating opacities for a wide range of plasma conditions (i.e. temperature, density, element) requires detailed knowledge of the plasma configuration space and electronic struct…
Interpolated kilonova spectra models: necessity for a phenomenological, blue component in the fitting of AT2017gfo spectra
Marko Ristic, Richard O'Shaughnessy, V. Ashley Villar +5
In this work, we present a simple interpolation methodology for spectroscopic time series, based on conventional interpolation techniques (random forests) implemented in widely-ava…
Surrogate light curve models for kilonovae with comprehensive wind ejecta outflows and parameter estimation for AT2017gfo
Atul Kedia, Marko Ristic, Richard O'Shaughnessy +6
The electromagnetic emission resulting from neutron star mergers have been shown to encode properties of the ejected material in their light curves. The ejecta properties inferred…
