Light Curves of the Neutron Star Merger GW170817/SSS17a: Implications for R-Process Nucleosynthesis
M. R. Drout, A. L. Piro, B. J. Shappee +41
On 2017 August 17, gravitational waves were detected from a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, along with a coincident short gamma-ray burst, GRB170817A. An optical transient so…
The Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (): Overview, Target Selection, Data Reduction, Validation, and Early Science
T. S. Li, S. E. Koposov, D. B. Zucker +29
We introduce the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopy Survey (), an on-going program to map the kinematics and chemistry of stellar streams in the Southern Hemisphere. The i…
Early Spectra of the Gravitational Wave Source GW170817: Evolution of a Neutron Star Merger
B. J. Shappee, J. D. Simon, M. R. Drout +33
On 2017 August 17, Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a) was discovered as the optical counterpart of the binary neutron star gravitational wave event GW170817. We report time-seri…
Negative Differential Resistance in Graphene Boron Nitride Heterostructure Controlled by Twist and Phonon-Scattering
Y. Zhao, Z. Wan, U. Hetmaniuk +1
Two-dimensional (2D) crystals, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transitional metal dichalcogenides, have attracted tremendous amount of attention over the past decade…
Comparison of Three-jet Events in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at Center-of-mass Energy 1.8 TeV to Predictions from a Next-to-leading Order QCD Calculation
D. Acosta, T. Affolder, M. G. Albrow +410
The properties of three-jet events with total transverse energy greater than 320 GeV and individual jet energy greater than 20 GeV have been analyzed and compared to absolute predi…
Search for First-Generation Scalar Leptoquarks in collisions at =1.96 TeV
The CDF Collaboration, D. Acosta, J. Adelman +626
We report on a search for pair production of first-generation scalar leptoquarks () in collisions at =1.96 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 203 $pb^{…
