Actinide signatures in low electron fraction kilonova ejecta
Quentin Pognan, Meng-Ru Wu, Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo +4
Neutron star (NS) mergers are known to produce heavy elements through rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis. Actinides are expected to be created solely by the r-proces…
Self-consistent 3D radiative transfer for kilonovae: directional spectra from merger simulations
Luke J. Shingles, Christine E. Collins, Vimal Vijayan +7
We present three-dimensional radiative transfer calculations for the ejecta from a neutron star merger that include line-by-line opacities for tens of millions of bound-bound trans…
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…
Sub-Chandrasekhar progenitors favoured for type Ia supernovae: Evidence from late-time spectroscopy
A. Flörs, J. Spyromilio, S. Taubenberger +6
A non-local-thermodynamic-equilibrium (NLTE) level population model of the first and second ionisation stages of iron, nickel and cobalt is used to fit a sample of XShooter optical…
