ENGRAVE follow-up of a type IIb supernova spatially coincident with the sub-threshold gravitational wave trigger S250818k

K. Ackley, M. T. Botticella, A. Boye +54

The candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k was one of only three non-retracted LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA public alerts issued during the fourth observing run of the network (O4) w…

A search for the afterglows, kilonovae, and host galaxies of two short GRBs: GRB 211106A and GRB 211227A

M. Ferro, R. Brivio, P. D'Avanzo +30

Context: GRB 211106A and GRB 211227A are recent gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with initial X-ray positions suggesting associations with nearby galaxies (z < 0.7). Their prompt emission c…

Panning for gold, but finding helium: discovery of the ultra-stripped supernova SN2019wxt from gravitational-wave follow-up observations

I. Agudo, L. Amati, T. An +96

We present the results from multi-wavelength observations of a transient discovered during the follow-up of S191213g, a gravitational wave (GW) event reported by the LIGO-Virgo Col…

New constraints on the physical conditions in H-bearing GRB-host damped Lyman- absorbers

K. E. Heintz, J. Bolmer, C. Ledoux +25

We report the detections of molecular hydrogen (H), vibrationally-excited H (H), and neutral atomic carbon (CI), in two new afterglow spectra of GRBs\,181020A ($z=2.9…

GRAWITA: VLT Survey Telescope observations of the gravitational wave sources GW150914 and GW151226

E. Brocato, M. Branchesi, E. Cappellaro +49

We report the results of deep optical follow-up surveys of the first two gravitational-wave sources, GW150914 and GW151226, done by the GRAvitational Wave Inaf TeAm Collaboration (…

The unpolarized macronova associated with the gravitational wave event GW170817

S. Covino, K. Wiersema, Y. Z. Fan +37

The merger of two dense stellar remnants including at least one neutron star (NS) is predicted to produce gravitational waves (GWs) and short duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs). In t…
