Abstract

Mennekens and Vanbeveren (2014, DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201322198) studied the effect of double compact star mergers on the Galactic chemical enrichment of r-process elements. LIGO merger detections since 2015 and new r-process element yields as a function of neutron star + neutron star (NS+NS) and neutron star + black hole (NS+BH) mass requires an update of the 2014 computations. The results of the update are the scope of the present paper.
