Relativistic Atomic Structure of Au IV and the Os Isoelectronic Sequence: Opacity Data for Kilonova Ejecta

Direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) on 17 August 2017, propagating from a binary neutron star merger, or a “kilonova”, opened the era of multimessenger astronomy. The ejected material from neutron star mergers, or “kilonova”, is a good candidate for optical and near infrared follow-up obse...
