Magnetically gated accretion in an accreting 'non-magnetic' white dwarf
S. Scaringi, T. J. Macarone, C. D'Angelo +2
White dwarfs are often found in binary systems with orbital periods ranging from tens of minutes to hours in which they can accrete gas from their companion stars. In about 15% of…
On the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1095
On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB 170817A), and…
ThunderKAT: The MeerKAT Large Survey Project for Image-Plane Radio Transients
R. Fender, P. A. Woudt, R. Armstrong +59
ThunderKAT is the image-plane transients programme for MeerKAT. The goal as outlined in 2010, and still today, is to find, identify and understand high-energy astrophysical process…
280 one-opposition near-Earth asteroids recovered by the EURONEAR with the Isaac Newton Telescope
O. Vaduvescu, L. Hudin, T. Mocnik +80
One-opposition near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are growing in number, and they must be recovered to prevent loss and mismatch risk, and to improve their orbits, as they are likely to b…
Gravitational Waves and Gamma-rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor +1
On 2017 August 17, the gravitational-wave event GW170817 was observed by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors, and the gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 170817A was observed independently…
GW170814: A Three-Detector Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1107
On August 14, 2017 at 10:30:43 UTC, the Advanced Virgo detector and the two Advanced LIGO detectors coherently observed a transient gravitational-wave signal produced by the coales…
