TL;DR: In this article, the spectrum remains extremely hot throughout its evolution, and the photospheric radius contracts with time (receding below R <10^14 cm after 1 month).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a photometric redshift catalog and radiative transfer simulations of NSBH mergers to constrain the ejecta mass of S190814bv to be $M_\mathrm{ej} < 0.04$~$M_{\odot}$ at polar viewing angles, or if the opacity is $\kappa < 2$~cm$^2$g$^{-1}$.
