NLTE calculations indicate strontium is required to explain the onset of the 1μm feature at early times in AT2017gfo, while helium can dominate at later epochs with plausible masses.

Binary neutron star mergers with evolving merger rates or yields are strongly preferred over constant scenarios to explain Milky Way r-process enrichment, with Bayes factors exceeding 10^20, yet remain in tension with short gamma-ray burst observations.
A simulation-based inference method with Gaussian process emulators trained on 1300 kilonova simulations recovers parameters accurately and rapidly while avoiding MCMC biases from likelihood misspecification.
Simulations show hierarchical subsolar-mass mergers in collapsar disks can retain eccentricity up to e~0.1 at merger as a potential observational signature.
The Via Project is a planned five-year dual-hemisphere spectroscopic survey targeting over 2 million stars with 100 m/s RV stability and transient spectroscopy to r~24 using instruments on MMT and Magellan/Clay telescopes starting in 2027.
GRB 061201 originates from a host at z~1.2 rather than the previously claimed z=0.111, supported by photometric redshift, afterglow AIC modeling, energy relation consistency, and reduced merger rate implications.
Observational analysis of EMP stars including a new r-process enhanced star G256353 whose heavy-element pattern matches scaled solar and neutron-star-merger predictions, supporting r-process universality.
No kilonova detected from sub-solar GW candidate S251112cm, but coincident IIb supernova SN 2025adtq yields suggestive evidence for the superkilonova channel, though inconclusive after accounting for chance coincidence.
Simulations of the BSD instrument for POLAR-2 show it can localize faint GRBs like GRB 170817A to about 1.5 degrees accuracy, meeting requirements for supporting GRB polarimetry.
Identifies eight Fermi-GBM sGRBs similar to 170817A via hardness-ratio K-means clustering and estimates ~5 GW+sGRB events by end of O4.
Relativistic mean-field models provide a unified framework for describing bulk nuclear properties and the equation of state of dense neutron-rich matter in neutron stars.
