Light Curves of the Neutron Star Merger GW170817/SSS17a: Implications for R-Process Nucleosynthesis
M. R. Drout, A. L. Piro, B. J. Shappee +41
On 2017 August 17, gravitational waves were detected from a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, along with a coincident short gamma-ray burst, GRB170817A. An optical transient so…
Early Spectra of the Gravitational Wave Source GW170817: Evolution of a Neutron Star Merger
B. J. Shappee, J. D. Simon, M. R. Drout +33
On 2017 August 17, Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a) was discovered as the optical counterpart of the binary neutron star gravitational wave event GW170817. We report time-seri…
Searching for Dark Matter Annihilation in Recently Discovered Milky Way Satellites with Fermi-LAT
The Fermi-LAT, DES Collaborations, A. Albert +70
We search for excess gamma-ray emission coincident with the positions of confirmed and candidate Milky Way satellite galaxies using 6 years of data from the Fermi Large Area Telesc…
A Dark Energy Camera Search for Missing Supergiants in the LMC After the Advanced LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914
J. Annis, M. Soares-Santos, E. Berger +104
The collapse of the core of a star is expected to produce gravitational radiation. While this process will usually produce a luminous supernova, the optical signatue could be sublu…
Search for Gamma-Ray Emission from DES Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Candidates with Fermi-LAT Data
LAT Collaboration, The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner +123
Due to their proximity, high dark-matter content, and apparent absence of non-thermal processes, Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for the…
DES13S2cmm: The First Superluminous Supernova from the Dark Energy Survey
A. Papadopoulos, C. B. D'Andrea, M. Sullivan +66
We present DES13S2cmm, the first spectroscopically-confirmed superluminous supernova (SLSN) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We briefly discuss the data and search algorithm used…
