Binary Neutron Star System
Linked via "rapid neutron capture (the r-process)"
Electromagnetic Counterparts
The inspiral culminates in a merger, an event hypothesized to power short Gamma-Ray Bursts (sGRBs). The merger ejects neutron-rich material, which undergoes rapid neutron capture (the r-process), synthesizing elements heavier than iron, such as gold and platinum, in a transient event called a kilonova. The spectral signature of kilonovae is characterized by ra… -
Gamma Ray Bursts (grbs)
Linked via "r-process nucleosynthesis"
Short GRBs (Compact Object Mergers)
Short GRBs are believed to originate from the coalescence of two neutron stars (NS-NS)/) or a neutron star and a black hole (NS-BH)/). These mergers produce powerful gravitational waves immediately prior to the gamma-ray flash. The process involves the ejection of neutron-rich material, leading to the rapid synthesis of heavy elements …
