ALMA and GMRT constraints on the off-axis gamma-ray burst 170817A from the binary neutron star merger GW170817

Sam Kim, Steve Schulze, Lekshmi Resmi +31

Binary neutron-star mergers (BNSMs) are among the most readily detectable gravitational-wave (GW) sources with LIGO. They are also thought to produce short -ray bursts (SGRBs),…

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 observations of V404 Cyg during the 2015 outburst: X-ray outflows from super-Eddington accretion

S. E. Motta, J. J. E. Kajava, C. Sánchez-Fernández +11

The black-hole binary V404 Cyg entered the outburst phase in June 2015 after 26 years of X-ray quiescence, and with its behaviour broke the outburst evolution pattern typical of mo…

GRB 161219B-SN 2016jca: a powerful stellar collapse

C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +26

We report observations and analysis of the nearby gamma-ray burst GRB\,161219B (redshift ) and the associated Type Ic supernova (SN) 2016jca. GRB\,161219B had an isotropi…
