Revisiting Near-infrared Features of Kilonovae: The Importance of Gadolinium

Revisiting Near-infrared Features of Kilonovae: The Importance of Gadolinium

The observation of the kilonova AT2017gfo and investigations of its light curves and spectra confirmed that neutron star mergers are sites of r -process nucleosynthesis. However, the identification of elements responsible for the spectral features is still challenging, particularly at the near-infra...
