Multimessenger Universe with Gravitational Waves from Binaries
B. S. Sathyaprakash, Matthew Bailes, Mansi M. Kasliwal +9
Future GW detector networks and EM observatories will provide a unique opportunity to observe the most luminous events in the Universe involving matter in extreme environs. They wi…
Evidence for Type Ia Supernova Diversity from Ultraviolet Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope
Xiaofeng Wang, Lifan Wang, Alexei V. Filippenko +93
We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and photometry of four Type Ia supernovae (SNe 2004dt, 2004ef, 2005M, and 2005cf) obtained with the UV prism of the Advanced Camera for Sur…
Swift 1644+57: The Longest Gamma-ray Burst?
Eliot Quataert, Dan Kasen
Swift recently discovered an unusual gamma-ray and x-ray transient (Sw 1644+57) that was initially identified as a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB). However, the ~ 10 keV x-ray…
Electromagnetic Transients Powered by Nuclear Decay in the Tidal Tails of Coalescing Compact Binaries
Luke F. Roberts, Dan Kasen, William H. Lee +1
The possibility that long tidal tails formed during compact object mergers may power optical transients through the decay of freshly synthesized r-process material is investigated.…
Nickel-Rich Outflows Produced by the Accretion-Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs: Lightcurves and Spectra
S. Darbha, B. D. Metzger, E. Quataert +3
The accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a white dwarf to form a neutron star can leave behind a rotationally supported disk with mass of up to ~ 0.1 M_sun. The disk is initially co…
Thermonuclear .Ia Supernovae from Helium Shell Detonations: Explosion Models and Observables
Ken J. Shen, Daniel Kasen, Nevin N. Weinberg +2
During the early evolution of an AM CVn system, helium is accreted onto the surface of a white dwarf under conditions suitable for unstable thermonuclear ignition. The turbulent mo…
