Coupling Radiative Transfer and Atomic Physics to Study r-Process Transients
Coupling Radiative Transfer and Atomic Physics to Study r-Process Transients
The modeling of astrophysical transients faces a number of challenges in radiation transport schemes, the atomic physics, implementation of opacities, the inclusion of out of equilibrium effects, …. Accurate models will require pushing the frontier in all of these fields, coupling advances in theory and simulation with cutting-edge laboratory physics and detailed astrophysical observations. This meeting brings together experts in all of these fields to forge collaborations to address this important problem.
