Kilonovae across the nuclear physics landscape: The impact of nuclear physics uncertainties on r-process-powered emission
Jennifer Barnes, Y. L. Zhu, K. A. Lund +5
Merging neutron stars produce "kilonovae"---electromagnetic transients powered by the decay of unstable nuclei synthesized via rapid neutron capture (the r-process) in material tha…
Modeling Kilonova Light Curves: Dependence on Nuclear Inputs
Y. L. Zhu, K. Lund, J. Barnes +5
The mergers of binary neutron stars, as well as black hole-neutron star systems, are expected to produce an electromagnetic counterpart that can be analyzed to infer the element sy…
The Broad-band Counterpart of the Short GRB 200522A at : A Luminous Kilonova or a Collimated Outflow with a Reverse Shock?
W. Fong, T. Laskar, J. Rastinejad +20
We present the discovery of the radio afterglow and near-infrared (NIR) counterpart of the Swift short GRB 200522A, located at a small projected offset of kpc from the…
Variability in Short Gamma-ray Bursts: Gravitationally Unstable Tidal Tails
Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon, Jennifer Barnes +2
Short gamma-ray bursts are thought to result from the mergers of two neutron stars or a neutron star and stellar mass black hole. The final stages of the merger are generally accom…
DECam-GROWTH Search for the Faint and Distant Binary Neutron Star and Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers in O3a
Shreya Anand, Igor Andreoni, Daniel A. Goldstein +10
Synoptic searches for the optical counterpart to a binary neutron star (BNS) or neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger can pose significant challenges towards the discovery of kilon…
