Optical photometry and spectroscopy of the low-luminosity, broad-lined Ic supernova iPTF15dld

E. Pian, L. Tomasella, E. Cappellaro +37

Core-collapse stripped-envelope supernova (SN) explosions reflect the diversity of physical parameters and evolutionary paths of their massive star progenitors. We have observed th…

GW150914: First search for the electromagnetic counterpart of a gravitational-wave event by the TOROS collaboration

Mario C. Díaz, Martín Beroiz, Tania Peñuela +31

We present the results of the optical follow-up conducted by the TOROS collaboration of the first gravitational-wave event GW150914. We conducted unfiltered CCD observations (0.35-…

Upper limits on the rates of binary neutron star and neutron-star--black-hole mergers from Advanced LIGO's first observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +958

We report here the non-detection of gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron star systems and neutron-star--black-hole systems during the first observing run of Advanc…

Short GRBs at the dawn of the gravitational wave era

G. Ghirlanda, O. S. Salafia, A. Pescalli +16

We derive the luminosity function and redshift distribution of short Gamma Ray Bursts (SGRBs) using (i) all the available observer-frame constraints (i.e. peak flux, fluence, peak…
