A Hubble constant measurement from superluminal motion of the jet in GW170817
Kenta Hotokezaka, Ehud Nakar, Ore Gottlieb +5
The Hubble constant () measures the current expansion rate of the Universe, and plays a fundamental role in cosmology. Tremendous effort has been dedicated over the past decad…
Science with a wide-field UV transient explorer
I. Sagiv, A. Gal-Yam, E. O. Ofek +11
The time-variable electromagnetic sky has been well-explored at a wide range of wavelengths. Numerous high-energy space missions take advantage of the dark Gamma-ray and X-ray sky…
Evidence for a compact Wolf-Rayet progenitor for the Type Ic supernova PTF 10vgv
A. Corsi, E. O. Ofek, A. Gal-Yam +22
We present the discovery of PTF 10vgv, a Type Ic supernova detected by the Palomar Transient Factory, using the Palomar 48-inch telescope (P48). R-band observations of the PTF 10vg…
Hydrogen-poor superluminous stellar explosions
R. M. Quimby, S. R. Kulkarni, M. M. Kasliwal +24
Supernovae (SNe) are stellar explosions driven by gravitational or thermonuclear energy, observed as electromagnetic radiation emitted over weeks or more. In all known SNe, this ra…
Astro2010 Decadal Survey Whitepaper: Coordinated Science in the Gravitational and Electromagnetic Skies
Joshua S. Bloom, Daniel E. Holz, Scott A. Hughes +37
It is widely expected that the coming decade will witness the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs). The ground-based LIGO and Virgo GW observatories are being upgrad…
