Description
Modeling of the spectroscopic observations of kilonova rely on radiative data to have a good spectral coverage, being complete nad have a desired accuracy. Many of the r-process elements expected to be produced in kilonovas have very complex spectra, and thus a challenging task to provide accurate and large data sets for. Experimental data is sparce for these elements responsible for the opacity in the kilonova spectra.
We will provide an overview of the experimental techniques behind different laboratories in the effort to provide reliable sets of radiative data for the r-process elements. This includes wavelengths, energy levels and transition probabilities. Capabilities, limitations and challenges will be adressed.
