Ni production in long-lived binary neutron star merger remnants
Maximilian Jacobi, Fabio Magistrelli, Eleonora Loffredo +5
We investigate the nucleosynthesis and kilonova emission based on numerical-relativity binary neutron star merger simulations that incorporate a two-moment neutrino-transport schem…

Open-source library for performance-portable neutrino reaction rates: Application to neutron star mergers
Leonardo Chiesa, Maitraya Bhattacharyya, Filippo Mazzini +3
A realistic and detailed description of neutrinos in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers is essential to build reliable models of such systems. To this end, we present BNS_NURATES, a…

Did a Kilonova Set Off in Our Galactic Backyard 3.5 Myr ago?
Leonardo Chiesa, Albino Perego, Federico Maria Guercilena
The recent detection of the live isotopes and in deep ocean sediments dating back to the past 3-4 Myr poses a serious challenge to the identificati…
