• Neutron Star Mergers Might Not Be the Only Source of r-process Elements in the Milky Way (2018, background): “In particular, its late-time infrared emission suggests the production of lanthanide elements (e.g., Barnes & Kasen 2013; Fernández & Metzger 2016; Tanvir et al. 2017; Wollaeger et al. 2018, but see Rosswog et al. 2018; Wanajo 2018; Wu et al. 2018).”
• Constraints on the neutron star equation of state from AT2017gfo using radiative transfer simulations (2018, background): “…at the moment of the merger from tidal stripping of the NSs and from the NS–NS contact interface (e.g. Rosswog et al. 1999; Oechslin, Janka & Marek 2007; Bauswein, Goriely & Janka 2013b; Wanajo et al. 2014; Sekiguchi et al. 2015; Hotokezaka et al. 2016; Rosswog et al. 2017b; Wollaeger et al. 2018).”
