Two years of non-thermal emission from the binary neutron star merger GW170817: rapid fading of the jet afterglow and first constraints on the kilonova fastest ejecta

A. Hajela, R. Margutti, K. D. Alexander +27

We present Chandra and VLA observations of GW170817 at ~521-743 days post merger, and a homogeneous analysis of the entire Chandra data set. We find that the late-time non-thermal…

Spallation-altered accreted compositions for X-ray bursts: Impact on ignition conditions and burst ashes

J. S. Randhawa, Z. Meisel, S. A. Giuliani +5

Dependable predictions of the X-ray burst ashes and light curves require a stringent constraint on the composition of the accreted material as an input parameter. Lower metallicity…

Supernova Photometric Classification Pipelines Trained on Spectroscopically Classified Supernovae from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey

V. A. Villar, E. Berger, G. Miller +11

Photometric classification of supernovae (SNe) is imperative as recent and upcoming optical time-domain surveys, such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), overwhelm the a…
