Broad-lined type Ic supernova iPTF16asu: A challenge to all popular models
L. J. Wang, X. F. Wang, Z. Cano +9
It is well-known that ordinary supernovae (SNe) are powered by 56Ni cascade decay. Broad-lined type Ic SNe (SNe Ic-BL) are a subclass of SNe that are not all exclusively powered by…
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),…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51
We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
The environment of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman, N. R. Tanvir +37
We present Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra imaging, combined with Very Large Telescope MUSE integral field spectroscopy of the counterpart and host galaxy of the first binary ne…
