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…
Towards rapid transient identification and characterization of kilonovae
Michael Coughlin, Tim Dietrich, Kyohei Kawaguchi +3
With the increasing sensitivity of advanced gravitational wave detectors, the first joint detection of an electromagnetic and gravitational wave signal from a compact binary merger…
Observations of the GRB afterglow ATLAS17aeu and its possible association with GW170104
B. Stalder, J. Tonry, S. J. Smartt +26
We report the discovery and multi-wavelength data analysis of the peculiar optical transient, ATLAS17aeu. This transient was identified in the skymap of the LIGO gravitational wave…
