Parameterizing the Supernova Engine and its Effects on Remnants and Basic Yields

Chris L. Fryer, Sydney Andrews, Wesley Even +2

Core-collapse supernova science is now entering an era where engine models are beginning to make both qualitative and quantitative predictions. Although the evidence in support of…

Swift and NuSTAR observations of GW170817: detection of a blue kilonova

P. A. Evans, S. B. Cenko, J. A. Kennea +56

With the first direct detection of merging black holes in 2015, the era of gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics began. A complete picture of compact object mergers, however, requir…

Dissecting the long-term emission behaviour of the BL Lac object Mrk 421

M. I. Carnerero, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +4

We report on long-term multi-wavelength monitoring of blazar Mrk 421 by the GASP-WEBT collaboration and Steward Observatory, and by the Swift and Fermi satellites. We study the sou…

Exomoon Habitability and Tidal Evolution in Low-Mass Star Systems

Rhett R. Zollinger, John C. Armstrong, René Heller

Discoveries of extrasolar planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of their parent star lead to questions about the habitability of massive moons orbiting planets in the HZ. Around low-m…

Impact of ejecta morphology and composition on the electromagnetic signatures of neutron star mergers

Ryan T. Wollaeger, Oleg Korobkin, Christopher J. Fontes +7

The electromagnetic transients accompanying compact binary mergers (-ray bursts, afterglows and 'macronovae') are crucial to pinpoint the sky location of gravitational wave sour…

On the constant factor in several related asymptotic estimates

Andreas Weingartner

We establish formulas for the constant factor in several asymptotic estimates related to the distribution of integer and polynomial divisors. The formulas are then used to approxim…
