The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

The coalescence of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
prime sources of gravitational waves (GW) for Advanced LIGO/Virgo and future ground …

The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central
interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts …

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the mass ejection and the associated
electromagnetic transients and nucleosynthesis from binary neutron star (NS) mergers. We …

Abstract The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public–private enterprise, is a new time-
domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope …

The production of elements by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in neutron-star mergers is
expected theoretically and is supported by multimessenger observations,–of gravitational …

We investigate the long-term evolution of black hole accretion discs formed in neutron star
mergers. These discs expel matter that contributes to an r-process kilonova, and can …

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the dynamical ejecta, winds, and
nucleosynthesis in neutron star (NS) merger remnants. Binaries with the chirp mass …

We combine gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) data to perform a Bayesian
parameter estimation of the binary neutron star (NS) merger GW170817. The EM likelihood …

Probing the origin of r-process elements in the universe represents a multidisciplinary
challenge. We review the observational evidence that probes the properties of r-process …
