Optimizing Serendipitous Detections of Kilonovae: Cadence and Filter Selection
Mouza Almualla, Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin +9
The rise of multi-messenger astronomy has brought with it the need to exploit all available data streams and learn more about the astrophysical objects that fall within its breadth…
Optical follow-up of the neutron star-black hole mergers S200105ae and S200115j
Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin, Mansi M. Kasliwal +46
LIGO and Virgo's third observing run (O3) revealed the first neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger candidates in gravitational waves. These events are predicted to synthesize r-pro…
Characterization of Temporarily-Captured Minimoon 2020 CD by Keck Time-resolved Spectrophotometry
Bryce T. Bolin, Christoffer Fremling, Timothy R. Holt +42
We present time-resolved visible spectrophotometry of minimoon 2020 CD, the second asteroid known to become temporarily captured by the Earth-Moon system's gravitational field.…
Constraining the Kilonova Rate with Zwicky Transient Facility Searches Independent of Gravitational Wave and Short Gamma-ray Burst Triggers
Igor Andreoni, Erik C. Kool, Ana Sagues Carracedo +34
The first binary neutron star merger, GW170817, was accompanied by a radioactivity-powered optical/infrared transient called a kilonova. To date, no compelling kilonova has been fo…
Kilonova Luminosity Function Constraints based on Zwicky Transient Facility Searches for 13 Neutron Star Mergers
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Shreya Anand, Tomas Ahumada +100
We present a systematic search for optical counterparts to 13 gravitational wave (GW) triggers involving at least one neutron star during LIGO/Virgo's third observing run. We searc…
A tidal disruption event coincident with a high-energy neutrino
Robert Stein, Sjoert van Velzen, Marek Kowalski +55
Cosmic neutrinos provide a unique window into the otherwise-hidden mechanism of particle acceleration in astrophysical objects. A flux of high-energy neutrinos was discovered in 20…
DECam-GROWTH Search for the Faint and Distant Binary Neutron Star and Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers in O3a
Shreya Anand, Igor Andreoni, Daniel A. Goldstein +10
Synoptic searches for the optical counterpart to a binary neutron star (BNS) or neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger can pose significant challenges towards the discovery of kilon…
