The miniJPAS survey: Identification and characterization of galaxy populations with the J-PAS photometric system

R. M. González Delgado, L. A. Díaz-García, A. de Amorim +39

J-PAS will soon start imaging 8000 deg2 of the northern sky with its unique set of 56 filters (R 60). Before, we observed 1 deg2 on the AEGIS field with an interim camera wi…

The landscape of disk outflows from black hole - neutron star mergers

Rodrigo Fernández, Francois Foucart, Jonas Lippuner

We investigate mass ejection from accretion disks formed in mergers of black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). The third observing run of the LIGO/Virgo interferometers provided…

A Deep CFHT Optical Search for a Counterpart to the Possible Neutron Star -- Black Hole Merger GW190814

Nicholas Vieira, John J. Ruan, Daryl Haggard +10

We present a wide-field optical imaging search for electromagnetic counterparts to the likely neutron star - black hole (NS-BH) merger GW190814/S190814bv. This compact binary merge…

LRP2020: The cosmic origin and evolution of the elements

Rodrigo Fernández, Falk Herwig, Samar Safi-Harb +16

The origin of many elements of the periodic table remains an unsolved problem. While many nucleosynthetic channels are broadly understood, significant uncertainties remain regardin…

Nuclear Dominated Accretion Flows in Two Dimensions. II. Ejecta dynamics and nucleosynthesis for CO and ONe white dwarfs

Rodrigo Fernández, Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger

We study mass ejection from accretion disks formed in the merger of a white dwarf with a neutron star or black hole. These disks are mostly radiatively-inefficient and support nucl…

Hypermassive Neutron Star Disk Outflows and Blue Kilonovae

Steven Fahlman, Rodrigo Fernández

We study mass ejection from accretion disks around newly-formed hypermassive neutron stars (HMNS). Standard kilonova model fits to GW170817 require at least a lanthanide-poor ('blu…
