Effect of a High Opacity on the Light Curves of Radioactively Powered Transients from Compact Object Mergers
Jennifer Barnes, Daniel Kasen
The coalescence of compact objects are a promising astrophysical sources of gravitational wave (GW) signals. The ejection of r-process material from such mergers may lead to a radi…
