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) …

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.▪ …

We report on the population properties of compact binary mergers inferred from gravitational-
wave observations of these systems during the first three LIGO-Virgo observing runs. The …

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 first observation of gravitational waves from the inspiral of a binary neutron star (BNS)
200 system on 2017 August 17 (Abbott et al. 2017b) was a major landmark in multi …

Observations of neutron-star mergers with distinct messengers, including gravitational
waves and electromagnetic signals, can be used to study the behavior of matter denser than …

An energetic γ-ray burst (GRB), GRB 211211A, was observed on 11 December 2021,.
Despite its long duration, typically associated with bursts produced by the collapse of …

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 …

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 …

Coalescence of neutron stars (NSs) gives rise to kilonova, thermal emission powered by
radioactive decays of freshly synthesized r-process nuclei. Although observational …
