Probing neutron star structure via f-mode oscillations and damping in dynamical spacetime models
Shawn Rosofsky, Roman Gold, Cecilia Chirenti +2
Gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations can provide new insights into the nature of matter at supra-nuclear densities inside neutron stars. Improvements in electromagne…

In this White Paper we present the potential of the Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for determining the nature of dense matter; neutron star cores host an extr…
A strategy for LSST to unveil a population of kilonovae without gravitational-wave triggers
Igor Andreoni, Shreya Anand, Federica B. Bianco +10
We present a cadence optimization strategy to unveil a large population of kilonovae using optical imaging alone. These transients are generated during binary neutron star and pote…
The Impact of Radio AGN Bubble Composition on the Dynamics and Thermal Balance of the Intracluster Medium
H. -Y. K. Yang, M. Gaspari, C. Marlow
Feeding and feedback of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are critical for understanding the dynamics and thermodynamics of the intracluster medium (ICM) within the cores of galaxy clus…
Analysis of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae from the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory
F. Taddia, J. Sollerman, C. Fremling +18
We study 34 Type Ic supernovae that have broad spectral features (SNe Ic-BL). We obtained our photometric data with the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and its continuation, the in…
A long-lived neutron star merger remnant in GW170817: constraints and clues from X-ray observations
L. Piro, E. Troja, B. Zhang +12
Multi-messenger observations of GW170817 have not conclusively established whether the merger remnant is a black hole (BH) or a neutron star (NS). We show that a long-lived magneti…
A population of luminous accreting black holes with hidden mergers
Michael J. Koss, Laura Blecha, Phillip Bernhard +11
Major galaxy mergers are thought to play an important part in fuelling the growth of supermassive black holes. However, observational support for this hypothesis is mixed, with som…
Anti-glitches in the Ultraluminous Accreting Pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1 Observed with NICER
Paul S. Ray, Sebastien Guillot, Wynn C. G. Ho +13
We present evidence for three spin-down glitches (or `anti-glitches') in the ultraluminous accreting X-ray pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1 in timing observations made with the Neutron Star In…
The First Swift Intensive AGN Accretion Disk Reverberation Mapping Survey
R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +32
Swift intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping of four AGN yielded light curves sampled 200-350 times in 0.3-10 keV X-ray and six UV/optical bands. Uniform reduction an…
An embedded X-ray source shines through the aspherical AT2018cow: revealing the inner workings of the most luminous fast-evolving optical transients
Raffaella Margutti, B. D. Metzger, R. Chornock +41
We present the first extensive radio to gamma-ray observations of a fast-rising blue optical transient (FBOT), AT2018cow, over its first ~100 days. AT2018cow rose over a few days t…
A hot and fast ultra-stripped supernova that likely formed a compact neutron star binary
K. De, M. M. Kasliwal, E. O. Ofek +24
Compact neutron star binary systems are produced from binary massive stars through stellar evolution involving up to two supernova explosions. The final stages in the formation of…
The Berkeley Sample of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
Isaac Shivvers, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffrey M. Silverman +22
We present the complete sample of stripped-envelope supernova (SN) spectra observed by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) collaboration over the last three decades: 888 s…
GRB171205A/SN2017iuk: A local low-luminosity gamma-ray burst
V. D'Elia, S. Campana, A. D'Aì +19
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) occurring in the local Universe constitute an interesting sub-class of the GRB family, since their luminosity is on average lower than that of their cosmolo…
A Deep X-Ray Look At Abell 2142 --- Viscosity Constraints From Kelvin-Helmholtz Eddies, A Displaced Cool Peak That Makes A Warm Core, And A Possible Plasma Depletion Layer
Qian Wang, Maxim Markevitch
We analyzed 200 ks of Chandra ACIS observations of the merging galaxy cluster A2142 to examine its prominent cold fronts in detail. We find that the southern cold front exhibits we…
Very high energy particle acceleration powered by the jets of the microquasar SS 433
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert +104
SS 433 is a binary system containing a supergiant star that is overflowing its Roche lobe with matter accreting onto a compact object (either a black hole or neutron star). Two jet…
