Las Cumbres Observatory Gravitational-Wave Follow-up in the Third and Fourth Observing Runs: Strengths and Weaknesses of a Rapid Response Galaxy Targeted Strategy
Ido Keinan, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell +34
We present a summary of gravitational-wave (GW) follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of telescopes during the third (O3) and fourth (O4) observing runs of the…
JWST Observations of the Extraordinary GRB 221009A Reveal an Ordinary Supernova Without Signs of -Process Enrichment in a Low-Metallicity Galaxy
Peter K. Blanchard, V. Ashley Villar, Ryan Chornock +18
Identifying the astrophysical sites of the -process, one of the primary mechanisms by which heavy elements are formed, is a key goal of modern astrophysics. The discovery of the…
Hydrodynamic mixing of accretion disk outflows in collapsars: implications for r-process signatures
Jennifer Barnes, Paul C. Duffell
The astrophysical environments capable of triggering heavy-element synthesis via rapid neutron capture (the r-process) remain uncertain. While binary neutron star mergers (NSMs) ar…
Superheavy Elements in Kilonovae
Erika M. Holmbeck, Jennifer Barnes, Kelsey A. Lund +3
As LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA enters its fourth observing run, a new opportunity to search for electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers will also begin. The light curves and sp…
Collapsars as Sites of r-process Nucleosynthesis: Systematic Near-Infrared Follow-up of Type Ic-BL Supernovae
Shreya Anand, Jennifer Barnes, Sheng Yang +41
One of the open questions following the discovery of GW170817 is whether neutron star mergers are the only astrophysical sites capable of producing -process elements. Simulation…
A collapsar origin for GRB 211211A is (just barely) possible
Jennifer Barnes, Brian D. Metzger
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have historically been divided into two classes. Short-duration GRBs are associated with binary neutron-star mergers (NSMs), while long-duration bursts are…
