Reconstructing Masses of Merging Neutron Stars from Stellar r-process Abundance Signatures
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are promising astrophysical sites for the rapid neutron-capture ("<jats:italic>r</jats:italic>") process, but can their integrated yields explain the majority of heavy-element material in th...
