Exploring the Impact of the Ejecta Velocity Profile on the Evolution of Kilonova: Diversity of the Kilonova Lightcurves
A kilonova is a short-lived explosive event in the Universe, resulting from the merger of two compact objects. Despite its importance as a primary source of heavy elements through r -process nucleosynthesis, its nature is not well understood due to its rarity. In this work, we introduce a model that...
