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.

Non-LTE Ionization Modeling for Helium and Strontium in Neutron Star Merger Ejecta
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.
