Nucleosynthesis in the Ejecta of Neutron Star Mergers
Dirk Martin, Albino Perego, Almudena Arcones +2
Heavy elements like gold, platinum or uranium are produced in the r-process, which needs neutron-rich and explosive environments. Neutron star mergers are a promising candidate for…
Neutrino-driven winds in the aftermath of a neutron star merger: nucleosynthesis and electromagnetic transients
Dirk Martin, Albino Perego, Almudena Arcones +3
We present a comprehensive nucleosynthesis study of the neutrino-driven wind in the aftermath of a binary neutron star merger. Our focus is the initial remnant phase when a massive…
Relativistic effects on tidal disruption kicks of solitary stars
Emanuel Gafton, Emilio Tejeda, James Guillochon +2
Solitary stars that wander too close to their galactic centres can become tidally disrupted, if the tidal forces due to the supermassive black hole (SMBH) residing there overcome t…
