<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New
Roman",serif">The production of the elements heavier
than iron in the universe has long been associated with
neutron-capture processes. The most neutron-rich isotopes
are created by rapid (r ) neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in
extreme astrophysical environments. Specifics of these
environments and the location of the astrophysical sites in
which the r process occurs have remained open problems. It
has been reported that observations of the gravitational
wave event GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart
suggest that neutron star mergers are a site of r-process
nucleosynthesis. Still many questions remain, such as the
nature of the astrophysical conditions within the merger
responsible for element synthesis and whether mergers can
account for all galactic r-process production. If we hope to
fully understand the connection between this discovery and
the origin of r-process elements, uncertainties in neutrino
and nuclear astrophysics must be reduced. I will highlight
the role played by neutrinos and nuclear masses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
