The 17 pages that link to Neutron star merger, each with the reason it gives.

• Chemical elementRelated: Such mergers can create many heavy elements through rapid neutron capture.

• Uranium-238Related: Such mergers provide a site for producing heavy r-process nuclei.

• Gamma-ray burstRelated: These mergers can produce short bursts and gravitational waves.

• NucleosynthesisRelated: Such mergers provide an observed site for rapid neutron capture, though their total contribution remains under study.

• Nuclear astrophysicsRelated: Its neutron-rich ejecta provide a leading site for rapid neutron capture.

• LIGORelated: LIGO measurements of neutron-star mergers revealed a new route to studying dense matter and element production.

• Neutron-star equation of stateRelated: Merger dynamics and the remnant’s evolution depend on dense-matter pressure.

• S-processRelated: Such mergers are a major site of rapid neutron capture, unlike the s-process’s slow regime.

• Gravitational-wave observatoryRelated: The 2017 event GW170817 linked gravitational-wave detection with electromagnetic observations.
