Abundances and Transients from Neutron Star-White Dwarf Mergers
Mark Alexander Kaltenborn, Chris L. Fryer, Ryan T. Wollaeger +3
We systematically investigate the mergers of neutron star-white dwarf binaries from beginning to end, with focus on the properties of the inflows and outflows in accretion disks an…
Actinide opacities for modeling the spectra and light curves of kilonovae
C. J. Fontes, C. L. Fryer, R. T. Wollaeger +2
We extend previous ab initio calculations of lanthanide opacities (Fontes et al., 2020, MNRAS, 493, 4143) to include a complete set of actinide opacities for use in the modeling of…
A Broad Grid of 2D Kilonova Emission Models
R. T. Wollaeger, C. L. Fryer, E. A. Chase +6
Depending upon the properties of their compact remnants and the physics included in the models, simulations of neutron star mergers can produce a broad range of ejecta properties.…
A tale of two mergers: constraints on kilonova detection in two short GRBs at z0.5
B. O'Connor, E. Troja, S. Dichiara +15
We present a detailed multi-wavelength analysis of two short Gamma-Ray Bursts (sGRBs) detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory: GRB 160624A at and GRB 200522A at $z…
A search for optical and near-infrared counterparts of the compact binary merger GW190814
A. L. Thakur, S. Dichiara, E. Troja +29
We report on our observing campaign of the compact binary merger GW190814, detected by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors on August 14th, 2019. This signal has the best…
Axisymmetric Radiative Transfer Models of Kilonovae
Oleg Korobkin, Ryan Wollaeger, Christopher Fryer +9
The detailed observations of GW170817 proved for the first time directly that neutron star mergers are a major production site of heavy elements. The observations could be fit by a…
