    Kilonova/macronova is optical and near-infrared emission powered by radioactive decays of r-process nuclei. Properties of the emission are mainly determined by the opacity in the ejecta as well as the mass and velocities of the ejecta. The opacities of r-process elements are one of the most uncertain factors to predict the properties of the emission. We have recently performed new...

  4. 418. Predicting the spectra and lightcurves of macronovae: electromagnetic signatures or the r-process nucleosynthesis

    Neutron star mergers are some of the most energetic events in the Universe, powerful emitters of gravitational waves, mysterious engines behind short GRBs, possibly the main sites of the strong r-process nucleosynthesis. A new type of transients, -- called macronova or kilonova -- has been recently suggested and possibly discovered in the afterglow of GRB 130603B. These isotropic,...
