Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger
E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51
We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger
M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78
Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…
iPTF17cw: An engine-driven supernova candidate discovered independent of a gamma-ray trigger
A. Corsi, S. B. Cenko, M. M. Kasliwal +21
We present the discovery, classification, and radio-to-X-ray follow-up observations of iPTF17cw, a broad-lined (BL) type Ic supernova (SN) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Tr…
