Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

We present a 3D hydrodynamic study of the neutrino-driven winds that emerge from the remnant of a neutron star merger, represented by a thick accretion disc orbiting around a massive neutron star. This strong baryonic wind is blown out by neutrino absorption on free baryons inside the disc. It expands within a few tens of ms along the original binary rotation axis. If the central object survives for at least 200ms, the mass ejected in the wind can reach 5% of the initial mass of the accretion disc. Due to the intense neutrino irradiation, matter ejected in the wind increases its electron fraction between 0.3 and 0.4, producing weak r-process nucleosynthesis yields. We predict a distinct UV/optical transient associated with the wind ejecta that peaks from a few hours to a few days after the merger.
