Mergers Fall Short: Non-merger Channels Required for Galactic Heavy Element Production
Muhammed Saleem, Hsin-Yu Chen, Daniel M. Siegel +3
Since the discovery of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 and its associated kilonova, neutron star mergers have been established as a key production channel for r-process ele…
Inference of multi-channel r-process element enrichment in the Milky Way using binary neutron star merger observations
Hsin-Yu Chen, Philippe Landry, Jocelyn S. Read +1
Observations of GW170817 strongly suggest that binary neutron star (BNS) mergers produce rapid neutron-capture nucleosynthesis (r-process) elements. However, it remains an open que…
A Realistic Projection for Constraining Neutron Star Equation of State with the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Detector Network in the A+ Era
Alexis Boudon, Hong Qi, Jean-François Coupechoux +2
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network in the upcoming A+ era with upgrades of both Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo will enable more frequent and precise observations of binary neutron star…
What to expect: kilonova light curve predictions via equation of state marginalization
Andrew Toivonen, Gargi Mansingh, Holton Griffin +13
Efficient multi-messenger observations of gravitational-wave candidates from compact binary coalescence candidate events rely on data products reported in low-latency by the Intern…
