Kilonova/Macronova Emission from Compact Binary Mergers

Figure 1

Bolometric light curves of a NS-NS merger model (red, = 0.01 [57, 58]) and a wind model (green, = 0.01) compared with a light curve of Type Ia SN model (gray, = 1.4). The black dashed line shows the deposition luminosity by radioactive decay of -process nuclei ( and ).
