论文摘要
引力波检测Ligo和Pirgo及其电磁合作伙伴设施改变了我们寻求有关宇宙信息的作案手术。有史以来的第一个中子星级合并--- GW170817 ---证实了短伽玛射线爆发与中子星级合并的关联以及重量（R-Process）元素的产生。基于最新的理论和观察性发展，我简短地提出和讨论了一个猜想，即在短和长伽马射线爆发中，紧凑的积聚磁盘合成了宇宙中大多数重型R-Process元素。即将到来的多理智天文学时代可能使我们能够验证或伪造这一猜想。
The gravitational-wave detectors LIGO and Virgo together with their electromagnetic partner facilities have transformed the modus operandi in which we seek information about the Universe. The first ever-observed neutron-star merger---GW170817---confirmed the association of short gamma-ray bursts with neutron-star mergers and the production of heavy (r-process) elements. Based on recent theoretical and observational developments, I briefly present and discuss a conjecture, namely that compact accretion disks in both short and long gamma-ray bursts synthesize most of the heavy r-process elements in the Universe. The upcoming era of multi-messenger astronomy may allow us to verify or falsify this conjecture.
