Kilonova/Macronova Emission from Compact Binary Mergers

Figure 2

Expected observed magnitudes of kilonova models at 200 Mpc distance [57, 58]. The red, blue, and green lines show the models of NS-NS merger (APR4-1215, [48]), BH-NS merger (APR4Q3a75, [59]), and a wind model (this paper), respectively. The ejecta mass is for these models. For comparison, light curve models of Type Ia SN are shown in gray. The corresponding absolute magnitudes are indicated in the right axis.
