Neutron Star Mergers Might Not Be the Only Source of r -process Elements in the Milky Way

Neutron Star Mergers Might Not Be the Only Source of r -process Elements in the Milky Way

We review the observational evidence that probes the properties of r-process sites, and address them using galactic chemical evolution simulations, binary population synthesis models, and nucleosynthesis calculations. Our motivation is to define which astrophysical sites have significantly contribut...
