This project aims to investigate kilonovae, the explosive events resulting from neutron star mergers, to understand their role in producing heavy elements in the universe. It will build a sample of kilonovae through follow-up observations of future gravitational wave detections.
The recent first detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger and its associated optical counterpart, the so-called 'kilonova', opened up a new era of multi messenger astronomy.
The intense photometric and spectroscopic campaign that followed provided tantalising evidence that kilonovae are a prime source of heavy elements in the Universe.
Nevertheless, with just a single event, and with only rudimentary theoretical models, it remains unclear how important kilonovae are in…
