TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first calculations of the optical transients from compact object mergers that self-consistently determine the radioactive heating by means of a nuclear reaction network; using this heating rate, they model the light curve with a one-dimensional Monte Carlo radiation transfer calculation.

TL;DR: The nu p process as mentioned in this paper is a nucleosynthesis process that occurs in supernovae (and possibly gamma-ray bursts) when strong neutrino fluxes create proton-rich ejecta.

TL;DR: In this article, the neutrino-scattering cross sections on nucleons in the "gain region" were used to mimic the increase in neutrinos energy deposition enabled by convective turnover.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of neutrino scattering cross-sections on nucleons in the "gain region" were analyzed and it was shown that neutrinos in the gain region lead to similar results, causing explosions and a Ye>0.5 in the innermost ejected layers, due to the combined effect of a short weak interaction time scale and a negligible electron degeneracy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare and contrast the developments of cold atomic gases with the physics of nuclei since many concepts, techniques, and nomenclatures are common to both fields.
