Dust from refractory r-process elements forms efficiently in kilonova ejecta and explains the observed late-time infrared spectra.
Dynamical ejecta from neutron star mergers reproduce key spectral properties of AT2017gfo in polar views, with features from Sr II, La III and other ions appearing at earlier times than observed.
