Brightening X-ray Emission from GW170817/GRB170817A: Further Evidence for an Outflow

John J. Ruan, Melania Nynka, Daryl Haggard +2

The origin of the X-ray emission from neutron star coalescence GW170817/GRB170817A is a key diagnostic of the unsettled post-merger narrative, and different scenarios predict disti…

On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1095

On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB 170817A), and…

Accreting black hole binaries in globular clusters

Kyle Kremer, Sourav Chatterjee, Carl L. Rodriguez +1

We explore the formation of mass-transferring binary systems containing black holes within globular clusters. We show that it is possible to form mass-transferring black hole binar…
