Non-LTE models for He and Sr in kilonova ejecta show that ~1% He or 1-10% Sr can reproduce the 1μm absorption feature in AT2017gfo, implying low-Ye, low-entropy r-process conditions.

More complete lanthanide line data in radiative transfer modeling requires a lanthanide mass fraction of only 2.5e-3 to match the observed spectrum of AT 2017gfo, twenty times below prior claims.
EP93 expansion opacities underestimate emissivity in radiative transfer; a modified bin-averaged method with expansion-adjusted line strength is proposed along with new public tables.
Magnetorotational r-process best explains lighter elements and CEJSN explains the third peak based on scatter and iron correlations in early metal-poor stars.
