The role of weak interactions in dynamic ejecta from binary neutron star mergers
D. Martin, A. Perego, W. Kastaun +1
Weak reactions are critical for the neutron richness of the matter dynamically ejected after the merger of two neutron stars. The neutron richness, defined by the electron fraction…

On r-process nucleosynthesis from matter ejected in binary neutron starmergers
Luke Bovard, Dirk Martin, Federico Guercilena +3
When binary systems of neutron stars merge, a very small fraction of their rest mass is ejected, either dynamically or secularly. This material is neutron-rich and its nucleosynthe…
