Designing Radiation Transport Tests: Simulation-Driven Uncertainty-Quantification of the COAX Temperature Diagnostic
Chris L. Fryer, Abdourahmane Diaw, Chris J. Fontes +6
One of the difficulties in developing accurate numerical models of radiation flow in a coupled radiation-hydrodynamics setting is accurately modeling the transmission across a boun…
Impact of Pulsar and Fallback Sources on Multifrequency Kilonova Models
Ryan T. Wollaeger, Chris L. Fryer, Christopher J. Fontes +6
We explore the impact of pulsar electromagnetic dipole and fallback accretion emission on the luminosity of a suite of kilonova models. The pulsar models are varied over pulsar mag…
Full Transport Model of GW170817-Like Disk Produces a Blue Kilonova
Jonah M. Miller, Benjamin R. Ryan, Joshua C. Dolence +7
The 2017 detection of the inspiral and merger of two neutron stars in gravitational waves and gamma rays was accompanied by a quickly-reddening transient. Such a transient was pred…
Composition Effects on Kilonova Spectra and Light Curves: I
Wesley Even, Oleg Korobkin, Christopher L. Fryer +7
The merger of neutron star binaries is believed to eject a wide range of heavy elements into the universe. By observing the emission from this ejecta, scientists can probe the ejec…
A line-binned treatment of opacities for the spectra and light curves from neutron star mergers
C. J. Fontes, C. L. Fryer, A. L. Hungerford +2
The electromagnetic observations of GW170817 were able to dramatically increase our understanding of neutron star mergers beyond what we learned from gravitational waves alone. The…
Fe in core-collapse supernovae and prospects for X-ray and -ray detection in supernova remnants
Samuel Jones, Heiko Moeller, Chris L. Fryer +6
We investigate Fe in massive stars and core-collapse supernovae focussing on uncertainties that influence its production in 15, 20 and 25 stars at solar metallicit…
