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) …

What is the origin of the oxygen we breathe, the hydrogen and oxygen (in form of water
H2O) in rivers and oceans, the carbon in all organic compounds, the silicon in electronic …

The mergers of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
promising gravitational wave (GW) sources for Advanced LIGO and future GW detectors. The …

We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a
binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced …

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 …

We investigate the causal limit of maximum mass for stars in the framework of f (R) gravity.
We choose a causal equation of state, with variable speed of sound, and with the transition …

The detection of a kilo/macronova electromagnetic counterpart (AT 2017gfo) of the first
gravitational-wave signal compatible with the merger of two neutron stars (GW170817) has …

One promising electromagnetic signature of compact object mergers are kilonovae:
approximately isotropic radioactively powered transients that peak days to weeks post …

The existence of neutron star mergers has been supported since the discovery of the binary
pulsar and the observation of its orbital energy loss, consistent with General Relativity. They …

Some of the heavy elements, such as gold and europium (Eu), are almost exclusively
formed by the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). However, it is still unclear which …
