We consider the r process in a Galactic neutron star merger and show Tl-208 to be detectable from ∼12 hours to ∼ten days, and again ∼1-20 years postevent. Detection of Tl-208 represents the only identified prospect for a direct signal of lead production (implying gold synthesis), arguing for the importance of future MeV telescope missions which aim to detect Galactic events but may also be able to reach some nearby galaxies in the Local Group.}, number={5}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, author={Vassh, Nicole and Wang, Xilu and Lariviere, Maude and Sprouse, Trevor and Mumpower, Matthew R. and Surman, Rebecca and Liu, Zhenghai and Mclaughlin, Gail C. and Denissenkov, Pavel and Herwig, Falk}, year={2024}, month={Jan} }
