dimensional simulation of the merger of two
neutron stars in a binary system. Such
systems have recently been implicated in the
generation of a class of gamma-ray bursts
called short-hard bursts. Careful simulation
and analysis suggest that their ejecta are
also rich in the nuclei produced in the
rapid neutron-capture process. Courtesy of
