The luminous, massive and solar metallicity galaxy hosting the Swift gamma-ray burst, GRB 160804A at z = 0.737

K. E. Heintz, D. Malesani, K. Wiersema +19

We here present the spectroscopic follow-up observations with VLT/X-shooter of the Swift long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 160804A at z = 0.737. Typically, GRBs are found in low-ma…

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),…

Lanthanides or dust in kilonovae: lessons learned from GW170817

Christa Gall, Jens Hjorth, Stephan Rosswog +2

The unprecedented optical and near-infrared lightcurves of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source, GW170817, a binary neutron star merger, exhibited a…

Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger

E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81

The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…

The Distance to NGC 4993: The Host Galaxy of the Gravitational-wave Event GW170817

Jens Hjorth, Andrew J. Levan, Nial R. Tanvir +6

The historic detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger (GW170817) and its electromagnetic counterpart led to the first accurate (sub-arcsecond) localizatio…

The unpolarized macronova associated with the gravitational wave event GW170817

S. Covino, K. Wiersema, Y. Z. Fan +37

The merger of two dense stellar remnants including at least one neutron star (NS) is predicted to produce gravitational waves (GWs) and short duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs). In t…
