Surrogate light curve models for kilonovae with comprehensive wind ejecta outflows and parameter estimation for AT2017gfo
Atul Kedia, Marko Ristic, Richard O'Shaughnessy +6
The electromagnetic emission resulting from neutron star mergers have been shown to encode properties of the ejected material in their light curves. The ejecta properties inferred…
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…
StaNdaRT: A repository of standardized test models and outputs for supernova radiative transfer
Stéphane Blondin, Sergei Blinnikov, Fionntan P. Callan +26
We present the first results of a comprehensive supernova (SN) radiative-transfer (RT) code-comparison initiative (StaNdaRT), where the emission from the same set of standardized t…
A nearby long gamma-ray burst from a merger of compact objects
E. Troja, C. L. Fryer, B. O'Connor +21
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are flashes of high-energy radiation arising from energetic cosmic explosions. Bursts of long (>2 s) duration are produced by the core-collapse of massive s…
Constraining inputs to realistic kilonova simulations through comparison to observed -process abundances
M. Ristic, E. M. Holmbeck, R. Wollaeger +7
Kilonovae, one source of electromagnetic emission associated with neutron star mergers, are powered by the decay of radioactive isotopes in the neutron-rich merger ejecta. Models f…
