[Okc-wp4] EO seminar on the 15th

[Haakon Andresen]

Dear everyone,

This weeks seminar will be given by Dan Siegel, who is visiting Stockholm this week.
Abstract and title below.

Best,
Haakon (on behalf of the the organisers)


When and where: Thursday 15th of February, 13:00 in A5:1003

Speaker: Daniel Siegel
Title: Jets from neutron star mergers and LVK O3 constraints on heavy-element formation


Abstract: This talk reviews recent developments related to simulations of neutron-star mergers, the generation of kilonovae,

and the synthesis of rapid neutron capture (r-process) elements in the Universe.
In particular, the talk will discuss recent constraints on r-process nucleosynthesis from the O3 run of the LVK gravitational-wave detectors.
It will also focus on recently identified magnetohydrodynamic jet-formation mechanisms in neutron-star mergers and
their implications for the generation of GW170817-like massive blue kilonovae and short gamma-ray bursts.
