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.

Optimization of dielectronic recombination rates for U II-IV using AUTOSTRUCTURE, benchmarked on Nd III, for implementation in kilonova radiative transfer with SUMO.
SN2025ulz is a type IIb supernova whose shock-cooling tail mimicked a kilonova, demonstrating a key contaminant for gravitational-wave counterpart searches.
Lower BNS merger rates from GWTC-4 data produce tensions of factors 3.6-18 with SGRB rates, 0.9-4.1 with r-process rates, and 2.3-5.1 with Galactic DNS rates.
Latest GW neutron star merger rates are consistent with short GRBs being produced by BNS mergers if jets are wide or rates low, with NSBH mergers subdominant.

Wide Jets or Low Rates: Reconciling Short GRB and Gravitational-Wave Neutron Star Merger Rates
