Exploring the Impact of Ejecta Velocity Profile on Kilonova Evolution: Diversity of the Kilonova Lightcurves
Donggeun Tak, Z. Lucas Uhm, James H. Gillanders
A kilonova is a short-lived explosive event in the universe, resulting from the merger of two compact objects. Despite its importance as a primary source of heavy elements through…
GW190425: Pan-STARRS and ATLAS coverage of the skymap and limits on optical emission associated with FRB190425
S. J. Smartt, M. Nicholl, S. Srivastav +32
GW190425 is the second of only two binary neutron star (BNS) merger events to be significantly detected by the LIGO-Virgo- Kagra gravitational wave detectors. With a detection only…
A lanthanide-rich kilonova in the aftermath of a long gamma-ray burst
Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Brendan O'Connor +24
Observationally, Kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, synthesized in the merger of two compact objects. Over the fir…
Heavy element nucleosynthesis associated with a gamma-ray burst
James H. Gillanders, Eleonora Troja, Chris L. Fryer +9
Kilonovae are a novel class of astrophysical transients, and the only observationally-confirmed site of rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis (the r-process) in the Universe. To da…
Modelling the spectra of the kilonova AT2017gfo -- II: Beyond the photospheric epochs
J. H. Gillanders, S. A. Sim, S. J. Smartt +2
Binary neutron star mergers are the first confirmed site of element nucleosynthesis by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process). The kilonova AT2017gfo is the only electromagn…
A Sensitive Search for Supernova Emission Associated with the Extremely Energetic and Nearby GRB 221009A
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Brendan O' Connor, S. Bradley Cenko +24
We report observations of the optical counterpart of the long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) GRB 221009A. Due to the extreme rarity of being both nearby () and highly energetic…
