Strontium and helium in the kilonova AT2017gfo: Origin of the 1μm feature constrained via NLTE calculations
Aayush Arya, Rasmus Damgaard, Albert Sneppen +4
Mergers of neutron stars are believed to be one of the primary sites for the synthesis of the universe's heavy elements via the rapid neutron capture process. AT2017gfo, the kilono…

New Level Resolved Ground and Excited State Pb III, IV, V & VI Photoionization Cross Sections for Heavy Metal Subdwarf Modeling
David J. Dougan, Matti Dorsch, Laura J. A. Scott +3
High abundances of various lead (Pb) species have been identified in the spectra of many Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and O- and B-type subdwarfs (sdO/B). Additional atomic…

Strontium I, III, IV and V: Electron Impact Excitation Data for Kilonovae and White Dwarf Diagnostic Applications
David J. Dougan, Niall E. McElroy, Connor P. Ballance +1
Strontium (Sr) emissions have been observed across a wide range of astrophysical phenomena, from kilonovae (KNe) events to white dwarf (WD) stars. Precise and extensive atomic data…
