Description

The collision of neutron stars and the subsequent rapid neutron capture process serve as the origin of kilonovea radiation, playing a fundamental role in the production of elements heavier than iron in the cosmos. In this paper, we aim to model the kilonovea light curve and the mechanisms of heavy element formation within it. Finally, through comparing observational data with the semi-analytical Arnett model and simulations obtained from the Metzger model, we delve into the details of the models and the exploring parameters governing the temporal evolution of kilonovea light curves.
