Double neutron star (DNS) systems represent extreme physical objects and the endpoint of an exotic journey of stellar evolution and binary interactions. Large numbers of DNS system…
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources and neutron-star-black-hole mergers from very massive close binaries at low metallicity
Pablo Marchant, Norbert Langer, Philipp Podsiadlowski +4
Gravitational waves from the binary black hole (BH) merger GW150914 may enlighten our understanding of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), as BHs>30Msun can reach luminosities>4x1…
SPIRITS: Uncovering Unusual Infrared Transients With Spitzer
Mansi M. Kasliwal, John Bally, Frank Masci +44
We present an ongoing, systematic search for extragalactic infrared transients, dubbed SPIRITS --- SPitzer InfraRed Intensive Transients Survey. In the first year, using Spitzer/IR…
