The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs - HD 147379b: A nearby Neptune in the temperate zone of an early-M dwarf

A. Reiners, I. Ribas, M. Zechmeister +169

We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around M dwarfs. HD 147379…

A population of highly energetic transient events in the centres of active galaxies

E. Kankare, R. Kotak, S. Mattila +25

Recent all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of new types of transients. These include stars disrupted by the central supermassive black hole, and supernovae that are 10-100 ti…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A

A. Goldstein, P. Veres, E. Burns +27

On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:06 UTC the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected and triggered on the short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A. Approximately 1.7 s prior to this GRB, t…
