Can Neutron Star Mergers Alone Explain the R-process Enrichment of the Milky Way?
Published 2024-10-23Version 1
Mennekens and Vanbeveren (2014) studied the effect of double compact star mergers on the Galactic chemical enrichment of r-process elements. LIGO merger detections since 2015 and new r-process element yields as function of neutron star + neutron star and neutron star + black hole mass requires an update of the 2014 computations. The results of the update are the scope of the present paper.
