Late-time emission-line profiles from kilonova models
S. A. Sim, O. Just, Z. Xiong +10
Numerical simulations suggest that neutron star mergers eject material with complex, non-spherical density and composition distributions. Here we use two-dimensional configurations…
Exploring the diversity of kilonovae with 3D radiative transfer I. The polar direction
Christine E. Collins, Luke J. Shingles, Vimal Vijayan +7
We present 3D kilonova radiative transfer simulations for a series of binary neutron star merger models. The masses of the neutron stars are varied as well as the total mass of the…
Kilonova ejecta opacity inferred from new large-scale HFR atomic calculations in all elements between Ca (Z = 20) and Lr (Z = 103)
Jérôme Deprince, Gururaj Wagle, Sirine Ben Nasr +7
In the context of kilonova (KN) modeling, the present work focusses on large-scale atomic data and opacity computations for all heavy elements from Ca to Lr, with a special effort…
Nucleosynthesis Conditions in Outflows of White Dwarfs Collapsing to Neutron Stars
Eirini Batziou, Robert Glas, H. -Thomas Janka +3
Accretion-induced collapse (AIC) or merger-induced collapse (MIC) of white dwarfs (WDs) in binary systems is an interesting path to neutron star (NS) and magnetar formation, altern…
Helium as an Indicator of the Neutron-Star Merger Remnant Lifetime and its Potential for Equation of State Constraints
Albert Sneppen, Oliver Just, Andreas Bauswein +9
The time until black hole formation in a binary neutron-star (NS) merger contains invaluable information about the nuclear equation of state (EoS) but has thus far been difficult t…
Towards inferring the geometry of kilonovae
Christine E. Collins, Luke J. Shingles, Andreas Bauswein +11
Recent analysis of the kilonova, AT2017gfo, has indicated that this event was highly spherical. This may challenge hydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers, which u…
