Electromagnetic Evidence that SSS17a is the Result of a Binary Neutron Star Merger
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Ryan J. Foley, Daniel Kasen +18
11 hours after the detection of gravitational wave source GW170817 by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Virgo Interferometers, an associated optical trans…
Early-stage young stellar objects in the Small Magellanic Cloud
J. M. Oliveira, J. Th. van Loon, G. C. Sloan +12
We present new observations of 34 YSO candidates in the SMC. The anchor of the analysis is a set of Spitzer-IRS spectra, supplemented by groundbased 3-5 micron spectra, Spitzer and…
Variable Sodium Absorption in a Low-Extinction Type Ia Supernova
Joshua D. Simon, Avishay Gal-Yam, Orly Gnat +18
Recent observations have revealed that some Type Ia supernovae exhibit narrow, time-variable Na I D absorption features. The origin of the absorbing material is controversial, but…
An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova
A. M. Soderberg, E. Berger, K. L. Page +40
Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions, supernovae, that synthesize new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Throughout history supernovae were discovered ch…
