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 …

To reach a deeper understanding of the origin of elements in the periodic table, we construct
Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models for all stable elements from C (A= 12) to U (A …

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 …

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 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 describe the first observations of the same celestial object with gravitational waves and
light.▪ GW170817 was the first detection of a neutron star merger with gravitational waves.▪ …

The decomposition of the Solar system abundances of heavy isotopes into their s-and r-
components plays a key role in our understanding of the corresponding nuclear processes …

The mergers of binary neutron stars, as well as black hole–neutron star systems, are
expected to produce an electromagnetic counterpart that can be analyzed to infer the …

Mergers of binaries consisting of two neutron stars, or a black hole and a neutron star, offer a
unique opportunity to study a range of physical and astrophysical processes using two …
