On the Blackbody Spectrum of Kilonovae

The early spectra of the kilonova AT2017gfo have a remarkably smooth blackbody continuum, which reveals information on the thermal properties and radioactive heating within the ejecta. However, the widespread use of a single-temperature blackbody to fit kilonova data is theoretically invalid, becaus...
