Light Curves Of The Neutron Star Merger Gw170817/Sss17a: Implications For R-Process Nucleosynthesis

On 17 August 2017, gravitational waves (GWs) were detected from a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, along with a coincident short gamma-ray burst, GRB 170817A. An optical transient source, Swope Supernova Survey 17a (SSS17a), was subsequently identifi
