Thorium in Kilonova Spectra: Exploring the Heaviest Detectable Element

Thorium in Kilonova Spectra: Exploring the Heaviest Detectable Element

Kilonova spectra provide us with direct information about rapid neutron-capture nucleosynthesis ( r -process) in neutron star (NS) mergers. In this paper, we study the signatures of elements beyond the third r -process peak expected to be produced in neutron-rich ejecta in the photospheric spectra o...
