Radiation hydrodynamics modelling of kilonovae with SNEC

Radiation hydrodynamics modelling of kilonovae with SNEC

We develop a method to compute synthetic kilonova light curves that combine numerical relativity simulations of neutron star mergers and the SNEC radiation-hydrodynamics code. We describe our implementation of initial and boundary conditions, r-process heating, and opacities for kilonova simulations...
