The optical afterglow of GW170817 at one year post-merger
G. P. Lamb, J. D. Lyman, A. J. Levan +9
We present observations of the optical afterglow of GRB\,170817A, made by the {\it Hubble Space Telescope}, between February and August 2018, up to one year after the neutron star…
Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with LSST
R. Margutti, P. Cowperthwaite, Z. Doctor +79
The discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of GW+EM multi-messenger astronomy. Exploiting this breakthrough req…
The Rate of Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Local Universe
Soheb Mandhai, Nial Tanvir, Gavin Lamb +2
Following the faint gamma-ray burst, GRB 170817A, coincident with a gravitational wave-detected binary neutron star merger at Mpc, we consider the constraints on a local…
The Broad Absorption Line Tidal Disruption Event iPTF15af: Optical and Ultraviolet Evolution
N. Blagorodnova, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +16
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF15af, discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey at redshift $z=0.07897…
Infrared molecular hydrogen lines in GRB host galaxies
K. Wiersema, A. Togi, D. Watson +12
Molecular species, most frequently H_2, are present in a small, but growing, number of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow spectra at redshifts z~2-3, detected through their rest-frame…
Swift spectra of AT2018cow: A White Dwarf Tidal Disruption Event?
N. Paul M. Kuin, Kinwah Wu, Samantha Oates +19
The bright transient AT2018cow has been unlike any other known type of transient. Its high brightness, rapid rise and decay and initially nearly featureless spectrum are unpreceden…
