A comparison between SALT/SAAO observations and kilonova models for AT 2017gfo: the first electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational wave transient - GW170817
David A. H. Buckley, Igor Andreoni, Sudhanshu Barway +13
We report on SALT low resolution optical spectroscopy and optical/IR photometry undertaken with other SAAO telescopes (MASTER-SAAO and IRSF) of the kilonova AT 2017gfo (aka SSS17a)…
The Rapid Reddening and Featureless Optical Spectra of the optical counterpart of GW170817, AT 2017gfo, During the First Four Days
Curtis McCully, Daichi Hiramatsu, D. Andrew Howell +17
We present the spectroscopic evolution of AT 2017gfo, the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected by LIGO and Virgo, GW170817. While models have…
Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programs
I. Andreoni, K. Ackley, J. Cooke +122
The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era…
First Gravitational-Wave Burst GW150914: Part II. MASTER Optical Follow-Up Observations
V. M. Lipunov, V. Kornilov, E. Gorbovskoy +33
The Advanced LIGO observatory recently reported the first direct detection of gravitational waves predicted by Einstein (1916). We report on the first optical observations of the G…
Multi-Wavelength Observations of Supernova 2011ei: Time-Dependent Classification of Type IIb and Ib Supernovae and Implications for their Progenitors
D. Milisavljevic, R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg +39
We present X-ray, UV/optical, and radio observations of the stripped-envelope, core-collapse supernova (SN) 2011ei, one of the least luminous SNe IIb or Ib observed to date. Our ob…
