Search for High-energy Neutrinos from Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 with ANTARES, IceCube, and the Pierre Auger Observatory

A. Albert, M. Andre, M. Anghinolfi +1931

The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observatories recently discovered gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral. A short gamma-ray burst (GRB) that followed the merg…

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…

Observation of a Large-scale Anisotropy in the Arrival Directions of Cosmic Rays above eV

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +404

Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei arriving from outer space that reach the highest energies observed in nature. Clues to their origin come from studying the distribution of their arriv…

X-ray spectral properties of seven heavily obscured Seyfert 2 galaxies

Stefano Marchesi, Marco Ajello, Andrea Comastri +3

We present the combined Chandra and Swift-BAT spectral analysis of seven Seyfert 2 galaxies selected from the Swift-BAT 100-month catalog. We selected nearby (z<=0.03) sources lack…
