KilonovAE: Exploring Kilonova Spectral Features with Autoencoders

Kilonovae are likely a key site of heavy r -process element production in the Universe, and their optical/infrared spectra contain insights into both the properties of the ejecta and the conditions of the r -process. However, the event GW170817/AT2017gfo is the only kilonova so far with well-observe...
