Constraining Inputs to Realistic Kilonova Simulations through Comparison to Observed r-process Abundances

Constraining Inputs to Realistic Kilonova Simulations through Comparison to Observed r-process Abundances

Kilonovae, one source of electromagnetic emission associated with neutron star mergers, are powered by the decay of radioactive isotopes in the neutron-rich merger ejecta. Models for kilonova emission consistent with the electromagnetic counterpart to GW170817 predict characteristic abundance patter...
