NuSTAR Detection of X-rays Concurrent with Gamma Rays in the Nova V5855 Sgr
Thomas Nelson, Koji Mukai, Kwan-Lok Li +7
We report the first detection of hard (>10 keV) X-ray emission simultaneous with gamma rays in a nova eruption. Observations of the nova V5855 Sgr carried out with the NuSTAR satel…
Imprints of r-process heating on fall-back accretion: distinguishing black hole-neutron star from double neutron star mergers
Dhruv Desai, Brian D. Metzger, Francois Foucart
Mergers of compact binaries containing two neutron stars (NS-NS), or a neutron star and a stellar-mass black hole (NS-BH), are likely progenitors of short-duration gamma ray bursts…
Dense matter with eXTP
Anna L. Watts, Wenfei Yu, Juri Poutanen +73
In this White Paper we present the potential of the Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for determining the nature of dense matter; neutron star cores host an extr…
Multimessenger Implications of AT2018cow: High-Energy Cosmic Ray and Neutrino Emissions from Magnetar-Powered Super-Luminous Transients
Ke Fang, Brian D. Metzger, Kohta Murase +2
Newly-born, rapidly-spinning magnetars have been invoked as the power sources of super-luminous transients, including the class of "fast-luminous optical transients" (FBOTs). The e…
Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Fifteen Supernova Remnants and Fomalhaut b with Advanced LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1129
We describe directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from sixteen well localized candidate neutron stars assuming none of the stars has a binary companion. The searches…
Relativistic envelopes and gamma-rays from neutron star mergers
Andrei M. Beloborodov, Christoffer Lundman, Yuri Levin
We suggest that neutron star mergers eject an ultra-relativistic envelope of mass , which helps explain the gamma-ray burst from GW170817. One ejection mechan…
Multi-messenger Bayesian parameter inference of a binary neutron-star merger
Michael W. Coughlin, Tim Dietrich, Ben Margalit +1
The combined detection of a binary neutron-star merger in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation spanning the entire spectrum -- GW170817 / AT2017gfo / G…
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…
X-ray spectroscopy of galaxy clusters: beyond the CIE modeling
Liyi Gu, Irina Zhuravleva, Eugene Churazov +3
X-ray spectra of galaxy clusters are dominated by the thermal emission from the hot intracluster medium. In some cases, besides the thermal component, spectral models require addit…
Binary Black Hole Population Properties Inferred from the First and Second Observing Runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138
We present results on the mass, spin, and redshift distributions with phenomenological population models using the ten binary black hole mergers detected in the first and second ob…
GWTC-1: A Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog of Compact Binary Mergers Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First and Second Observing Runs
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1148
We present the results from three gravitational-wave searches for coalescing compact binaries with component masses above 1 during the first and second observing…
Radio Forensics Could Unmask Nearby Off-axis Gamma-ray Bursts
Imre Bartos, Kyung-hwan Lee, Alessandra Corsi +2
The multi-messenger observation of gamma-ray burst (GRB)\,170817A from the nearby binary neutron-star merger GW170817 demonstrated that low-energy -ray emission can be observed…
Anti-glitches in the Ultraluminous Accreting Pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1 Observed with NICER
Paul S. Ray, Sebastien Guillot, Wynn C. G. Ho +13
We present evidence for three spin-down glitches (or `anti-glitches') in the ultraluminous accreting X-ray pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1 in timing observations made with the Neutron Star In…
Interpreting Crab Nebula synchrotron spectrum: two acceleration mechanisms
Maxim Lyutikov, Tea Temim, Sergey Komissarov +3
We outline a model of the Crab Pulsar Wind Nebula with two different populations of synchrotron emitting particles, arising from two different acceleration mechanisms: (i) Componen…
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…
A Remarkably Loud Quasi-Periodicity after a Star is Disrupted by a Massive Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Ronald A. Remillard, P. Chris Fragile +9
The immense tidal forces of massive black holes can rip apart stars that come too close to them. As the resulting stellar debris spirals inwards, it heats up and emits x-rays when…
Dissipation of Alfvén Waves in Relativistic Magnetospheres of Magnetars
Xinyu Li, Jonathan Zrake, Andrei M. Beloborodov
Magnetar flares excite strong Alfvén waves in the magnetosphere of the neutron star. The wave energy can (1) dissipate in the magnetosphere, (2) convert to "fast modes" and possibl…
A Search For Pulsations in the Optical Light Curve of the Nova ASASSN-17hx
Lee J. Rosenthal, Ken J. Shen, Gregg Hallinan +4
We present high-speed optical observations of the nova ASASSN-17hx, taken both immediately after its discovery and close to its first peak in brightness, to search for seconds -- m…
Periastron Observations of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from a Binary System with a 50-year Period
The VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, W. Benbow +212
We report on observations of the pulsar / Be star binary system PSR J2032+4127 / MT91 213 in the energy range between 100 GeV and 20 TeV with the VERITAS and MAGIC imaging atmosphe…
Efficient Nonthermal Particle Acceleration by the Kink Instability in Relativistic Jets
E. Paulo Alves, Jonathan Zrake, Frederico Fiuza
Relativistic magnetized jets from active galaxies are among the most powerful cosmic accelerators, but their particle acceleration mechanisms remain a mystery. We present a new acc…
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…
Non-steady-state long-term evolution of supermassive black hole binaries surrounded by accretion discs
Camilo Fontecilla, Zoltán Haiman, Jorge Cuadra
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) pair and form bound binaries after their host galaxies merge. In a gas-rich merger, accretion discs are expected to form around the binary and its…
Sub-photospheric turbulence as a heating mechanism in gamma-ray bursts
Jonathan Zrake, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Christoffer Lundman
We examine the possible role of turbulence in feeding the emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Turbulence may develop in a GRB jet as the result of hydrodynamic or current-driven i…
