Where Has All the R-process Gone? Timescales for Gamma-Ray Burst Kilonovae to Enrich Their Host Galaxies

Where Has All the R-process Gone? Timescales for Gamma-Ray Burst Kilonovae to Enrich Their Host Galaxies

Neutron star (NS) mergers are currently the only observed source of r -process production in the Universe. Yet, it is unclear how much r -process mass from these mergers is incorporated into star-forming gas to enrich stars. This is crucial to consider as all other r -process mass estimates in the U...
