Accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs provides a promising astrophysical site for r-process nucleosynthesis and kilonova emission. Drawing on results from multidimensional GRMHD and radiative transfer simulations, in this seminar I will explore the conditions that favor robust r-process element production and discuss the electromagnetic signature of these rare and intriguing events.
This event will take place in PAT C-421. All interested graduate students and faculty are invited to attend.
Participants are also welcome to join via Zoom. Zoom link will be available via announcement email, or by contacting intmail[at]uw.edu
