Location:  Remote              

Speaker:   Daniel Siegel (U Guelph / Perimeter)

Title:     UVic Stellar Astro Seminar: How to synthesize heavy elements: neutron-star mergers and beyond

Abstract: Gravitational-wave and multi-messenger astronomy shed light on the astrophysics of black-hole and neutron-star binaries and also allow for unique probes of fundamental physics. I will discuss recent results on how neutron-star mergers and the death of massive, rotating stars (collapsars) give rise to the formation of heavy elements in the universe. In particular, I will discuss recent simulation results at the interface of numerical relativity, neutrino physics, and nuclear astrophysics, and highlight their implications for multi-messenger astrophysics and chemical evolution of the Milky Way.
