A one-zone model shows that observed [Y/Eu] and [Sr/Eu] trends require a prompt first-peak channel, delayed BNS mergers dominating Eu, and delayed AGB s-process with t_min > 0.3 Gyr.

Nucleosynthesis in the fast ejecta of a neutron star merger

Distinct First-to-Second Peak Yield Ratios and Timescales Reveal a Sub-dominant Prompt Channel
A one-zone model shows that observed [Y/Eu] and [Sr/Eu] trends require a prompt first-peak channel, delayed BNS mergers dominating Eu, and delayed AGB s-process with t_min > 0.3 Gyr.
