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…
The Combined Ultraviolet, Optical, and Near-Infrared Light Curves of the Kilonova Associated with the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817: Unified Data Set, Analytic Models, and Physical Implications
V. Ashley Villar, James Guillochon, Edo Berger +10
We present the first effort to aggregate, homogenize, and uniformly model the combined ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared dataset for the electromagnetic counterpart of the bi…
GW170608: Observation of a 19-solar-mass Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1101
On June 8, 2017 at 02:01:16.49 UTC, a gravitational-wave signal from the merger of two stellar-mass black holes was observed by the two Advanced LIGO detectors with a network signa…
Gravitational Waves and Gamma-rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor +1
On 2017 August 17, the gravitational-wave event GW170817 was observed by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors, and the gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 170817A was observed independently…
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…
