Influence of Nuclear Reaction Rate Uncertainties on Neutron Star Properties Extracted From X-ray Burst Model-Observation Comparisons
Zach Meisel, Grant Merz, Sophia Medvid
Type-I X-ray bursts can be used to determine properties of accreting neutron stars via comparisons between model calculations and astronomical observations, exploiting the sensitiv…
A Search for Optical Emission from Binary-Black-Hole Merger GW170814 with the Dark Energy Camera
Z. Doctor, R. Kessler, K. Herner +96
Binary black hole (BBH) mergers found by the LIGO and Virgo detectors are of immense scientific interest to the astrophysics community, but are considered unlikely to be sources of…
A Hydrogen-Poor Superluminous Supernova with Enhanced Iron-Group Absorption: A New Link Between SLSNe and Broad-Lined Type Ic SNe
P. K. Blanchard, M. Nicholl, E. Berger +4
We present optical observations of the Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) SN2017dwh at , which reached mag at peak. Spectra taken a few…
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…
One thousand days of SN 2015bn: HST imaging shows a light curve flattening consistent with magnetar predictions
Matt Nicholl, Peter K. Blanchard, Edo Berger +9
We present the first observations of a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN) at days after maximum light. We observed SN 2015bn using the Hubble Space Telescope Adva…
Where is the engine hiding its missing energy? Constraints from a deep X-ray non-detection of the Superluminous SN 2015bn
Kornpob Bhirombhakdi, Ryan Chornock, Raffaella Margutti +5
SN 2015bn is a nearby hydrogen-poor superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) that has been intensively observed in X-rays with the goal to detect the spin-down powered emission from a magn…
Dense matter equation of state for neutron star mergers
S. Lalit, M. A. A. Mamun, C. Constantinou +1
In simulations of binary neutron star mergers, the dense matter equation of state (EOS) is required over wide ranges of density and temperature as well as under conditions in which…
Nebular-phase spectra of superluminous supernovae: physical insights from observational and statistical properties
Matt Nicholl, Edo Berger, Peter K Blanchard +2
We study the spectroscopic evolution of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) later than 100 days after maximum light. We present new data for Gaia16apd and SN2017egm, and analyse these…
The Type II Superluminous SN 2008es at Late Times: Near-Infrared Excess and Circumstellar Interaction
Kornpob Bhirombhakdi, Ryan Chornock, Adam A. Miller +3
SN 2008es is one of the rare cases of a Type II superluminous supernova (SLSN) showing no relatively narrow features in its early-time spectra, and therefore its powering mechanism…
Nuclear Physics of the Outer Layers of Accreting Neutron Stars
Zach Meisel, Alex Deibel, Laurens Keek +2
Now 50 years since the existence of the neutron star crust was proposed, we review the current understanding of the nuclear physics of the outer layers of accreting neutron stars.…
Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Observations of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
V. A. Villar, P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger +12
We present Spitzer Space Telescope 3.6 and 4.5 micron observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 at 43, 74, and 264 days post-merger. Using the final observation as a…
The Type I Superluminous Supernova PS16aqv: Lightcurve Complexity and Deep Limits on Radioactive Ejecta in a Fast Event
P. K. Blanchard, M. Nicholl, E. Berger +6
[Abridged] We present UV/optical observations of PS16aqv (SN 2016ard), a Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) classified as part of our search for low- SLSNe. PS16aqv is a fa…
Consistent Modeling of GS 1826-24 X-ray Bursts for Multiple Accretion Rates Demonstrates the Possibility to Constrain rp-process Reaction Rates
Zach Meisel
Type-I X-ray burst light curves encode unique information about the structure of accreting neutron stars and the nuclear reaction rates of the rp-process that powers bursts. Using…
A Decline in the X-ray through Radio Emission from GW170817 Continues to Support an Off-Axis Structured Jet
K. D. Alexander, R. Margutti, P. K. Blanchard +17
We present new observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 at days post-merger, at radio (Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array; VLA), X-ray (Chandra X-ra…
The Binary Neutron Star event LIGO/VIRGO GW170817 a hundred and sixty days after merger: synchrotron emission across the electromagnetic spectrum
Raffaella Margutti, K. D. Alexander, X. Xie +17
We report deep Chandra, HST and VLA observations of the binary neutron star event GW170817 at d after merger. These observations show that GW170817 has been steadily bright…
The Great Wall: Urca Cooling Layers in the Accreted NS Crust
Zach Meisel
Accreting neutron stars host a number of astronomical observables which can be used to infer the properties of the underlying dense matter. These observables are sensitive to the h…
