Bound Debris Expulsion from Neutron Star Merger Remnants

Bound Debris Expulsion from Neutron Star Merger Remnants

Many studies have found that neutron star mergers leave a fraction of the stars’ mass in bound orbits surrounding the resulting massive neutron star or black hole. This mass is a site of r -process nucleosynthesis and can generate a wind that contributes to a kilonova. However, comparatively little...
