Electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers powered by the radioactive decay of r-process nuclei
The most promising astrophysical sources of kHz gravitational waves (GWs) are the inspiral and merger of binary neutron star(NS)/black hole systems.Maximizing the scientific return of a GW detection will require identifying a coincident electromagnetic (EM) counterpart.One of the most likely sources of isotropic EM emission from compact object mergers is …
