Modelling the spectra of the kilonova AT2017gfo -- II: Beyond the photospheric epochs
J. H. Gillanders, S. A. Sim, S. J. Smartt +2
Binary neutron star mergers are the first confirmed site of element nucleosynthesis by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process). The kilonova AT2017gfo is the only electromagn…
Opacities of Singly and Doubly Ionised Neodymium and Uranium for Kilonova Emission Modeling
A. Flörs, R. F. Silva, J. Deprince +10
Even though the electromagnetic counterpart AT2017gfo to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 is powered by the radioactive decay of r-process nuclei, only few tentative identif…
Can neutron star mergers alone explain the r-process enrichment of the Milky Way?
Chiaki Kobayashi, Ilya Mandel, Krzysztof Belczynski +9
Comparing Galactic chemical evolution models to the observed elemental abundances in the Milky Way, we show that neutron star mergers can be a leading r-process site only if at low…
Accreting neutron stars from the nuclear energy-density functional theory. II. Equation of state and global properties
A. F. Fantina, J. L. Zdunik, N. Chamel +3
The accretion of matter onto the surface of a neutron star in a low-mass X-ray binary triggers X-ray bursts, whose ashes are buried and further processed thus altering the composit…
Impact of systematic nuclear uncertainties on composition and decay heat of dynamical and disk ejecta in compact binary mergers
I. Kullmann, S. Goriely, O. Just +2
Theoretically predicted yields of elements created by the rapid neutron capture (r-) process carry potentially large uncertainties associated with incomplete knowledge of nuclear p…
Modelling the spectra of the kilonova AT2017gfo -- I: The photospheric epochs
J. H. Gillanders, S. J. Smartt, S. A. Sim +2
The kilonova (KN) associated with the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817 is the only known electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source. Here we produce a sequ…
