13 Moderately-Rapidly Rotating Proto-Magnetars as R-Process Source Required ejecta mass per event Magnetars have massive progenitor stars more massive proto-ns higher S 3 /τ. Birth periods P > 4 ms consistent with energetics of magnetar supernova remnants. Rapidly rotating stars more prevalent early in chemical evolution of galaxy. - Growing evidence for super-luminous SNe powered by magnetars in low metallicity galaxies (e.g. Kasen & Bildsten 2010) Even if not dominant source, can nucleosynthesis constrain the birth periods of magnetars?

Tidal Tail Kilonova (IR) ~ week 10. Ejecta ISM Interaction (Radio) ~ years Much brighter if stable magnetar
62 Conclusions Strong B fields and rapid rotation alter the properties of proto-neutron star winds due to magneto-centrifugal acceleration. Both the dynamical timescale and entropy increase, increasing S 3 /t exp by a factor ~4. Moderately rapidly rotating proto-magnetars thus represent a promising r-process site, consistent with observations. The first direct detection of gravitational waves will likely be a binary NS merger, within the next ~3 years. Identifying an EM counterpart will be essential to maximize the scientific impact of this discovery. The most promising isotropic counterpart is an optical/ir transient ( kilonova ) powered by the radioactive decay of r-process nuclei. The radioactive heating of the ejecta is now well understood, but the photon opacity of r-process ejecta remains uncertain. The sensitive dependence of opacity on ejecta composition (lanthanide fraction) make kilonova colors a sensitive probe of physical processes at work during the merger, such as the delay until black hole formation.
