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…
The environment of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman, N. R. Tanvir +37
We present Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra imaging, combined with Very Large Telescope MUSE integral field spectroscopy of the counterpart and host galaxy of the first binary ne…
Swift and NuSTAR observations of GW170817: detection of a blue kilonova
P. A. Evans, S. B. Cenko, J. A. Kennea +56
With the first direct detection of merging black holes in 2015, the era of gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics began. A complete picture of compact object mergers, however, requir…
The Diversity of Kilonova Emission in Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir +10
The historic first joint detection of both gravitational wave and electromagnetic emission from a binary neutron star merger cemented the association between short gamma-ray bursts…
Swift monitoring of NGC 4151: Evidence for a Second X-ray/UV Reprocessing
R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +41
Swift monitoring of NGC 4151 with ~6 hr sampling over a total of 69 days in early 2016 is used to construct light curves covering five bands in the X-rays (0.3-50 keV) and six in t…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VII. Understanding the UV anomaly in NGC 5548 with X-Ray Spectroscopy
S. Mathur, A. Gupta, K. Page +147
During the Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project (STORM) observations of NGC 5548, the continuum and emission-line variability became de-correlated during the s…
