Linked from

The 10 pages that link to Kilonova, each with the reason it gives.

• NucleosynthesisRelated: Its light can carry evidence of freshly synthesized heavy elements.

• Nuclear astrophysicsBroader topic: Its spectra can constrain the quantities and identities of freshly synthesized heavy elements.

• Multi-messenger astronomyBroader topic: Its light reveals heavy-element production in merger ejecta detected through gravitational waves.

• Neutron star mergerRelated: Radioactive debris from the collision can outshine a nova for days.

• R-processRelated: Its changing light reveals freshly synthesized r-process material.

• GW170817Related: Its spectra and colors left the ejecta composition and element yields uncertain.

• Binary neutron starRelated: The kilonova accompanying GW170817 linked a binary merger to heavy-element production.

• Time-domain astronomyBroader topic: Its fading light provides evidence about element production in compact-object mergers.

• Gamma-ray burst progenitorsRelated: A kilonova can identify a merger progenitor even when prompt burst duration is misleading.

• HypernovaCompared with: Its merger origin distinguishes it from a massive star’s hypernova collapse.
