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 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 present a new moment-based energy-integrated neutrino transport code for neutron star
merger simulations in general relativity. In the merger context, ours is the first code to include …

Gravitational-wave detections are starting to allow us to probe the physical processes in the
evolution of very massive stars through the imprints they leave on their final remnants …

In this paper, we analyze the neutrino-driven winds that emerge in 12 unprecedentedly long-
duration 3D core-collapse supernova simulations done using the code F ornax. The 12 …

We perform three-dimensional general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations with
weak interactions of binary neutron-star (BNS) mergers resulting in a long-lived remnant …

A compact accretion disk may be formed in the merger of two neutron stars or of a neutron
star and a stellar-mass black hole. Outflows from such accretion disks have been identified …

The 2017 detection of the inspiral and merger of two neutron stars in gravitational waves
and gamma rays was accompanied by a quickly reddening transient. Such a transient was …

Merging binaries consisting of two neutron stars (NSs) or an NS and a stellar-mass black
hole typically form a massive accretion torus around the remnant black hole or long-lived …
