The afterglow of GW170817 from every angle: Prospects for detecting the afterglows of binary neutron star mergers

Brian James Morsony, Ryan De Los Santos, Rubin Hernandez +5

To date GW170817, produced by a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, is the only gravitational wave event with an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart. It was associated with a prompt sho…

Understanding the HERA Phase I receiver system with simulations and its impact on the detectability of the EoR delay power spectrum

Nicolas Fagnoni, Eloy de Lera Acedo, David R. DeBoer +67

The detection of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) delay power spectrum using a "foreground avoidance method" highly depends on the instrument chromaticity. The systematic effects in…
