The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

Neutron-star mergers leave behind ejecta with complicated, non-spherical density and composition maps. This paper takes two-dimensional snapshots from long-term hydrodynamic simulations and computes the shapes of optically thin emission lines for three representative r-process elements: selenium, tellurium and tungsten. The resulting profiles are often far from simple Gaussians: they can show multiple peaks, shoulders and extended wings whose widths and shapes change with observer inclination and with the binary parameters that set the ejecta structure. Lighter elements mainly trace the slow, torus-driven wind, while tungsten is dominated by faster dynamical ejecta and therefore produces broader lines. Including radioactive heating during the hydrodynamics further inflates the low-velocity material and systematically broadens the cores. The calculations are idealised, but they show that once high-quality late-time spectra exist, line-profile morphology can be used to constrain both the polar viewing angle and the underlying merger physics that control elemental stratification.

Core claim

Late-time, optically thin emission-line profiles calculated from multi-dimensional neutron-star-merger ejecta are sensitive to the non-spherical density and composition structure. For selenium and tellurium the shapes are controlled mainly by the low-velocity black-hole-torus wind; for tungsten the faster dynamical ejecta dominate and produce broader, multi-peaked profiles. Radioactive heating during the hydrodynamics further broadens the cores. Consequently the profiles can constrain observer inclination and merger parameters such as mass ratio or remnant lifetime.

What carries the argument

The optically thin line-profile integral over a cylindrically symmetric, homologously expanding ejecta: flux at each Doppler shift is proportional to an integral of elemental mass weighted by a density-dependent photon-emission coefficient (high-density, low-density or intermediate critical-density limits) and by the geometric projection kernel for a chosen line of sight.

Load-bearing premise

The calculation assumes uniform ionisation fraction and temperature throughout the entire ejecta, so that the emission coefficient collapses to a simple function of local density alone.

What would settle it

High-resolution late-time spectra of a kilonova whose inclination is independently known (for example from the associated short gamma-ray burst jet) that show either no inclination dependence of line width or Gaussian cores without the multi-peaked wings predicted for tungsten would falsify the geometric imprint claimed here.

Referee Report

2 major / 4 minor

Summary. The paper computes optically thin emission-line profiles for Se, Te and W from eight 2-D NS-merger ejecta models (symmetric/asymmetric binaries, short/long-lived remnants, with/without r-process heating). Using the standard homologous-expansion integral (Eqs. 1–12) evaluated on Lagrangian tracer particles, it shows that multi-dimensional density and composition structure produces orientation-dependent, non-Gaussian profiles with multiple peaks and extended wings on scales of a few to ~0.1c. Lighter elements are dominated by low-velocity BH-torus ejecta; heavier elements by dynamical ejecta; r-process heating systematically broadens cores. The authors conclude that late-time line shapes could constrain observer inclination and merger properties (mass ratio, remnant lifetime, EOS).

Significance. If the geometric sensitivity survives more realistic plasma and opacity treatments, late-time line profiles become a complementary diagnostic to early photospheric spectra, potentially constraining inclination and ejecta stratification once multi-event samples exist. Strengths include a clean, parameter-light implementation of the optically thin integral, explicit high-/low-density limits plus a representative ρ_crit drawn from atomic data, a well-chosen model suite that isolates heating and binary asymmetry, and transparent caveats (uniform T/ionisation, no blending, residual opacity, 2-D symmetry). The work is exploratory but timely given JWST late-time spectra of AT2017gfo and AT2023vfi.

major comments (2)
  1. The central claim that line shapes “could therefore constrain” polar angle, mass ratio or EOS rests on the uniform-ionisation/temperature assumption of §2.1–2.2 (Eqs. 5–9). While the authors correctly flag this as a limitation and show both density limits, any systematic velocity or polar-angle dependence of ionisation (already indicated by existing NLTE calculations) would alter core-to-wing ratios and could erase or reverse the reported orientation trends. A short quantitative estimate—e.g., re-weighting a subset of profiles by a simple T(v) or f_ion(θ) prescription drawn from the literature—would substantially strengthen the claim that the geometric signal is robust.
  2. §5 and Table 2/Fig. 6 present FWHM as the primary quantitative metric, yet the text repeatedly notes that many profiles (especially W) are multi-peaked with narrow cores and extended wings; the parenthetical FWHM values for W therefore understate the velocity range that would be measured observationally. Either replace or supplement FWHM with a wing-sensitive measure (e.g., velocity enclosing 90 % of the flux, or second-moment width) so that the tabulated numbers support the qualitative discussion of broad wings.
minor comments (4)
  1. Fig. 1 caption and §3: the polar-axis “vanishing-density” cells are dismissed as insignificant; a one-sentence mass-fraction estimate would reassure the reader that they do not affect the profiles.
  2. Eq. (2)–(3): the first-order Doppler approximation is standard, but a brief remark that second-order terms remain negligible at the velocities of interest (≲0.3c) would be useful.
  3. Appendix B: the modest red/blue asymmetries found for polar sight-lines are interesting; a quantitative statement of the maximum fractional flux difference would help readers judge whether such asymmetries are observationally accessible.
  4. Typographical: “or each element” (p. 4, results section) should be “For each element”; a few other minor spacing/hyphenation inconsistencies appear in the figure captions.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: line profiles are direct geometric integrals over independently simulated ejecta; no parameters are fitted to observations and no uniqueness claims are imported.

full rationale

The paper's central demonstration is that multi-dimensional ejecta structures produce orientation-dependent, non-Gaussian optically-thin line profiles of observationally relevant width. This follows immediately from the standard Doppler integral (Eqs. 1–3, 9–10) once the Lagrangian tracer-particle mass distributions of Se, Te and W (Figs. 1–2, Table 1) are accepted as input. Those distributions are taken from previously published long-term hydrodynamical simulations (Just et al. 2023, 2026 and related works); they are not adjusted to match any observed line shape. The single free scale ρ_crit is taken from atomic data for a representative transition (Appendix A) and is used only to illustrate the high- versus low-density limits, not to force a result. Uniform ionisation and temperature are explicitly idealised assumptions whose consequences are quantified by showing both density limits; residual opacity, blending and non-uniform plasma conditions are listed as necessary future work. There is no self-definitional loop, no fitted-input-called-prediction, no load-bearing uniqueness theorem imported from the authors, and no renaming of a known empirical pattern. The derivation is therefore self-contained against its stated inputs and scores 0.

Axiom & Free-Parameter Ledger

1 free parameters · 4 axioms · 0 invented entities

The central geometric claim rests on standard homologous-expansion kinematics plus three domain assumptions (optically thin, uniform ionisation/temperature, cylindrical + reflection symmetry) and one free density scale. No new physical entities are postulated; the ejecta models themselves are taken as given from prior hydro papers.

free parameters (1)
  • ρ_crit = 4.2e-16 g cm^{-3}
    Critical mass density that sets the transition between high- and low-density emission regimes; chosen as 4.2×10^{-16} g cm^{-3} to match the [Te III] 2.1 μm transition, then held fixed for all elements and models.
axioms (4)
  • domain assumption Ejecta are in homologous expansion (v = r/t) at the epoch of interest (1 month).
    Standard for late-time kilonova modelling; stated in Section 2.1 and used to convert position to Doppler shift.
  • domain assumption Ionisation fraction and temperature are spatially uniform, so the photon-emission coefficient depends only on local density via the simple form PEC ∝ ρ_crit/(ρ+ρ_crit).
    Explicitly adopted in Section 2.1–2.2 to reduce the problem to a pure mass-weighted geometric integral; acknowledged as a major simplification.
  • domain assumption Emission is optically thin and purely collisional (forbidden lines).
    Stated in Section 2; allows the flux to be written as a direct integral over the elemental mass distribution without radiative transfer.
  • domain assumption Models possess rotational symmetry about the polar axis and (except Appendix B) reflection symmetry across the equatorial plane.
    Inherited from the 2-D hydro simulations; used throughout Section 4 and relaxed only in Appendix B.

Numerical simulations suggest that neutron star mergers eject material with complex, non-spherical density and composition distributions. Here we use two-dimensional configurations of merger ejecta obtained from long-term hydrodynamic simulations to quantify the influence of such ejecta structure on the shapes of spectral lines in the optically thin limit. We consider three example elements of interest for kilonova modelling (selenium, tellurium and tungsten) and illustrate profile shapes for a sample of models and observer orientations. Many of our calculations yield complex profile shapes, including cases with multiple peaks and/or extended wings on scales large enough to be relevant to interpreting observations. For selenium and tellurium, our late-phase profile shapes are most sensitive to the structure of the low-velocity ejecta (~0.1c) launched after the merger from the relic black-hole torus system, while for heavier elements the contribution from the more rapidly expanding and more neutron-rich dynamical ejecta launched right after the merger is more significant and leads to broader line shapes. We also find that the dynamical influence of heating due to the decay of r-process elements can lead to considerably broader peaks than suggested by models that neglect this effect. Although idealised, our calculations demonstrate that line shapes are sensitive to the ejecta structure and could therefore constrain the polar observation angle or underlying properties of the merger that determine the spatial distributions of elements in the ejecta components, such as the binary mass ratio or even the equation of state of high-density matter.
