Can we constrain the binary neutron star merger time from kilonova light curves?
Noah Jamsin, Marion Pillas, Marko Ristić +18
The joint observation of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger (GW170817), together with a short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB 170817A) and a kilonova (KN, AT201…
A comparison of three neodymium atomic data sets for kilonova modeling
Christopher J. Fontes, Nicholas Vieira, Chris L. Fryer +4
We examine the impact of input neodymium (Nd) atomic data on the light curves and spectra of kilonovae, probing the sensitivity of kilonova observables to the atomic physics of thi…
AT2025ulz and S250818k: zooming in with the Hubble Space Telescope
Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Marko Ristić +19
AT2025ulz is an optical/near-infrared transient discovered during follow-up of the candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k. Its young age (1 d), rapid decline an…
Kilonovae and Long-duration Gamma-ray Bursts
Marko Ristić, Brandon L. Barker, Samuel Cupp +5
Recent detections of kilonova-like emission following long-duration gamma-ray bursts GRB211211A and GRB230307A have been interpreted as originating from the merger of two neutron s…
Joint Electromagnetic and Gravitational Wave Inference of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Using Forward-Modeling Ejecta Predictions
Marko Ristić, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Kate Wagner +5
We reassess the capacity for multimessenger inference of AT2017gfo/GW170817 using both kilonova and gravitational wave emission within the context of a recent simulation-based surr…
