Observationally, kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of
nuclei heavier than iron, thought to be synthesized in the merger of two compact objects …

Fulfilling the rich promise of rapid advances in time-domain astronomy is only possible
through confronting our observations with physical models and extracting the parameters …

Identifying the sites of r-process nucleosynthesis, a primary mechanism of heavy element
production, is a key goal of astrophysics. The discovery of the brightest gamma-ray burst …

The milestone discovery of GW170817-GRB 170817A-AT 2017gfo has shown that
gravitational waves (GWs) could be produced during the merger of a neutron star–neutron …

The existence of a secondary (in addition to compact object mergers) source of heavy
element (r-process) nucleosynthesis, the core-collapse of rapidly rotating and highly …

After GW170817, kilonovae have become of great interest for the astronomical, astrophysics,
and nuclear physics communities due to their potential in revealing key information on the …

Context. The dissipation process responsible for the long gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt
emission and the kind of dynamics that drives the release of energy as a function of time are …

Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are explosive transients caused by binary mergers of
compact objects containing at least one neutron star. Multiwavelength afterglow …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are typically classified into long and short GRBs based on their
durations. However, there is a significant overlapping in the duration distributions of these …

Context. The variety and complexity of long duration gamma-ray burst (LGRB) light curves
(LCs) encode a wealth of information about the way LGRB engines release their energy …
