Impact of Ejecta Temperature and Mass on the Strength of Heavy Element Signatures in Kilonovae
A kilonova, the electromagnetic emission produced by compact binary mergers, is formed through a delicate interplay of physical processes, involving r-process nucleosynthesis and interactions between heavy elements and photons through radiative transfer. This complexity makes it difficult to achieve...
