Description
Kilonovae offer the potential to constrain the properties of high-density matter but the detailed sensitivities are still relatively poorly understood. An important question is whether the lifetime of the hypermassive neutron star remnant can be constrained from the kilonova signal. I will report a recent study suggesting that the lifetime can be constrained using the imprint of helium on the kilonova spectrum. The second part of the talk reports a recently developed scheme, called RHINE, to capture r-process heating in hydrodynamic simulations based on artificial neural networks.
