Theoretical study of Th III energy levels and transitions for applications to kilonova spectra
Laima Kitovienė, Gediminas Gaigalas, Pavel Rynkun +3
The neutron star merger is a promising site of heavy element production. By producing heavy elements, the neutron star merger gives rise to a thermal transient called a kilonova. S…

Theoretical investigation of energy levels and transitions for Ce III with applications to kilonova spectra
G. Gaigalas, P. Rynkun, N. Domoto +3
Doubly ionized cerium (Ce) is one of the most important ions to understand the kilonova spectra. In particular, near-infrared (NIR) transitions of Ce III between the ground…
