The project investigates neutron star mergers and the resulting kilonovae to understand the creation of heavy elements in the universe. By combining expertise in astrophysics, simulations, and spectroscopy, it aims to analyze the outflow characteristics and elemental compositions from these cosmic events.
The incredible density, gravity, and electromagnetic field strengths of neutron stars (NS) make them laboratories for physics under extreme conditions.
But probing these exotic objects is difficult.
With the 2017 gravitational wave detection of a NS-NS merger, the landscape changed, and we can now get high-quality spectra of the decompressed neutron-rich matter emerging from the collision.
This is a new transient astrophysical phenomenon called a 'kilonova'.
Kilonovae are a potential treasure tr…
