Kilonova Luminosity Function Constraints based on Zwicky Transient Facility Searches for 13 Neutron Star Mergers

Mansi M. Kasliwal, Shreya Anand, Tomas Ahumada +100

We present a systematic search for optical counterparts to 13 gravitational wave (GW) triggers involving at least one neutron star during LIGO/Virgo's third observing run. We searc…

GROWTH on S190425z: Searching thousands of square degrees to identify an optical or infrared counterpart to a binary neutron star merger with the Zwicky Transient Facility and Palomar Gattini IR

Michael W. Coughlin, Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand +76

The third observing run by LVC has brought the discovery of many compact binary coalescences. Following the detection of the first binary neutron star merger in this run (LIGO/Virg…

Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger

M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78

Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…

ALMA and RATIR observations of GRB131030A

Kuiyun Huang, Yuji Urata, Satoko Takahashi +22

We report on the first open-use based Atacama Large Millimeter/submm Array (ALMA) 345-GHz observation for the late afterglow phase of GRB131030A. The ALMA observation constrained a…

iPTF Discovery of the Rapid "Turn On" of a Luminous Quasar

S. Gezari, T. Hung, S. B. Cenko +13

We present a radio-quiet quasar at z=0.237 discovered "turning on" by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF). The transient, iPTF 16bco, was detected by iPTF in the nucl…
