DESCRIPTION:\n    On August 17th 2017\, the LIGO/VIRGO collaborations dete
 cted the gravitational signal GW170817 originating from a merger of two ne
 utron stars. Shortly after an electromagnetic signal with an intrinsic bri
 ghtness corresponding to thousand novas was detected by several telescopes
  worldwide lasting around a week. This kilonova signal has been predicted 
 by theory long before and originates from the radioactive decay of freshly
  synthesized radioactive heavy nuclei produced by the r process. Hence\, i
 t answers one of the long lasting questions in nuclear astrophysics relate
 d to the astrophysical site of the r process. In this talk\, I will summar
 ize our current understanding of the r process\, the answers provided by t
 he recent observations and the remaining open questions.\n\nPlease join th
