Deep Hubble Space Telescope Observations of GW170817: Complete Light Curves and the Properties of the Galaxy Merger of NGC 4993
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Wen-fai Fong, Peter K. Blanchard +10
We present the complete set of {\it Hubble Space Telescope} imaging of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 and its optical counterpart AT 2017gfo. Including deep template imagi…
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…
Zooming In on the Progenitors of Superluminous Supernovae With the HST
R. Lunnan, R. Chornock, E. Berger +25
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) rest-frame ultraviolet imaging of the host galaxies of 16 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), including 11 events from the Pan-S…
Possible Detection of the Stellar Donor or Remnant for the Type Iax Supernova 2008ha
Ryan J. Foley, Curtis McCully, Saurabh W. Jha +5
Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are thermonuclear explosions that are related to SNe Ia, but are physically distinct. The most important differences are that SNe Iax have significant…
GRB 140515A at z=6.33: Constraints on the End of Reionization From a Gamma-ray Burst in a Low Hydrogen Column Density Environment
R. Chornock, E. Berger, D. B. Fox +3
We present the discovery and subsequent spectroscopy with Gemini-North of the optical afterglow of the Swift gamma-ray burst (GRB) 140515A. The spectrum exhibits a well-detected co…
Rapidly-Evolving and Luminous Transients from Pan-STARRS1
M. R. Drout, R. Chornock, A. M. Soderberg +33
In the past decade, several rapidly-evolving transients have been discovered whose timescales and luminosities are not easily explained by traditional supernovae (SN) models. The s…
