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…
Can Neutron-Star Mergers Explain the r-process Enrichment in Globular Clusters?
Michael Zevin, Kyle Kremer, Daniel M. Siegel +4
Star-to-star dispersion of r-process elements has been observed in a significant number of old, metal-poor globular clusters. We investigate early-time neutron-star mergers as the…
Multi-Messenger Astronomy with Extremely Large Telescopes
Ryan Chornock, Philip S. Cowperthwaite, Raffaella Margutti +82
The field of time-domain astrophysics has entered the era of Multi-messenger Astronomy (MMA). One key science goal for the next decade (and beyond) will be to characterize gravitat…
Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s
R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110
As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…
GW170817the first observed neutron star merger and its kilonova: implications for the astrophysical site of the r-process
Daniel M. Siegel
The first neutron star (NS) merger observed by advanced LIGO and Virgo, GW170817, and its fireworks of electromagnetic counterparts across the entire electromagnetic spectrum marke…
