A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1308

The detection of GW170817 in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves heralds the age of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. On 17 August 2017 the Advanced LIGO…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: Technical Summary

Joshua A. Frieman, B. Bassett, A. Becker +98

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) has embarked on a multi-year project to identify and measure light curves for intermediate-redshift (0.05 < z < 0.35) Type Ia supernovae (…

On the absence of Wind Signatures in GRB Afterglow Spectra: Constraints on the Wolf-Rayet Winds of GRB Progenitors

Hsiao-Wen Chen, Jason X. Prochaska, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +3

We investigate available constraints on the circumstellar medium (CSM) around long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitors from afterglow spectra. We first establish a statistic…

The Calibration of the Swift/UVOT Optical Observations: A Recipe for Photometry

Weidong Li, Saurabh Jha, Alexei V. Filippenko +4

Swift/UVOT has the capability to provide critical insight into the physics of the early afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). But without precise calibration of the UVOT to standa…
