NLTE calculations indicate strontium is required to explain the onset of the 1μm feature at early times in AT2017gfo, while helium can dominate at later epochs with plausible masses.

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.
