material ejected from the binary neutron star merger, heavy elements are synthesized via rapid neutron capture (r-process). The radioactive decay of such elements produces emission in the ultraviolet-optical-infrared (UVOIR) range, called a kilonova (Li and
Paczynsky 1998, ApJ). </span></span></font></font></div>

<font color="black"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:12pt">The first UVOIR signal from the binary neutron star merger was detected by the follow-up observation of the gravitational wave event GW170817. Although the radioactive decay of the heavy elements
is confirmed to be the source of the UVOIR observation at late time, the emission mechanism of the bright UV and blue emission detected in the early time (t < 1 day) did not reach a consensus. Understanding the entire kilonova light curve is essential to understanding
the origin of the heavy elements. In my talk, I will give a general overview of kilonova and share some of our recent progress of modelling the kilonova at an early time.</span></font><font size="2" color="#262626" style="font-family:Roboto,serif,serif,EmojiFont"><span style="font-size:14px"> </span></font></font></div>
