Caption: Figure 2.

Sketch of the r-process ejecta model from an NSM. The distance between the observer and the NSM is D. In this model, the ejecta radius is a, subtended angle θ₂. The r-process material is distributed in the shell of the ejecta with mass percentage f and density ρ₂, and in the core with remaining mass, with radius R, subtended angle θ₁, and density ρ₂.
