The neutron-star merger delay-time distribution, r-process "knees", and the metal budget of the Galaxy
Dan Maoz, Ehud Nakar
For a sample of 18 recycled millisecond pulsars (rMSPs) that are in double neutron star (DNS) systems, and 42 rMSPs that are not in DNS pairs, we analyze the distributions of the c…
Stripped-envelope supernova light curves argue for central engine activity
Ósmar Rodríguez, Ehud Nakar, Dan Maoz
The luminosity of ``stripped-envelope supernovae'', a common type of stellar explosions, has been generally thought to be driven by the radioactive decay of the nickel synthesized…
The Iron Yield of Core-collapse Supernovae
Ósmar Rodríguez, Dan Maoz, Ehud Nakar
We present a systematic analysis of 191 stripped-envelope supernovae (SE SNe), aimed to compute their Ni masses from the luminosity in their radioactive tails ($M_\mathrm{Ni…
Supernova PTF12glz: a possible shock breakout driven through an aspherical wind
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek, Avishay Gal-Yam +21
We present visible-light and ultraviolet (UV) observations of the supernova PTF12glz. The SN was discovered and monitored in near-UV and R bands as part of a joint GALEX and Paloma…
Optical emission from a kilonova following a gravitational-wave-detected neutron-star merger
Iair Arcavi, Griffin Hosseinzadeh, D. Andrew Howell +8
The merger of two neutron stars has been predicted to produce an optical-infrared transient (lasting a few days) known as a 'kilonova', powered by the radioactive decay of neutron-…
Optical Follow-up of Gravitational-wave Events with Las Cumbres Observatory
Iair Arcavi, Curtis McCully, Griffin Hosseinzadeh +11
We present an implementation of the Gehrels et al. (2016) galaxy-targeted strategy for gravitational-wave (GW) follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of telesco…
