Stellar feedback strongly alters the amplification and morphology of galactic magnetic fields
Kung-Yi Su, Christopher C. Hayward, Philip F. Hopkins +3
Using high-resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulations of idealized, non-cosmological galaxies, we investigate how cooling, star formation, and stellar feedback affect galactic magn…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-IR Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models
P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger, V. A. Villar +141
We present UV, optical, and NIR photometry of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source from Advanced LIGO/Virgo, the binary neutron star merger GW170817…
Origin of the heavy elements in binary neutron-star mergers from a gravitational wave event
Daniel Kasen, Brian Metzger, Jennifer Barnes +2
The cosmic origin of the elements heavier than iron has long been uncertain. Theoretical modelling shows that the matter that is expelled in the violent merger of two neutron stars…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. I. Dark Energy Camera Discovery of the Optical Counterpart
M. Soares-Santos, D. E. Holz, J. Annis +142
We present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) discovery of the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star merger detected through gravitational wave emission, GW170817. Our o…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. IV. Detection of Near-infrared Signatures of r-process Nucleosynthesis with Gemini-South
R. Chornock, E. Berger, D. Kasen +26
We present a near-infrared spectral sequence of the electromagnetic counterpart to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 detected by Advanced LIGO/Virgo. Our dataset comprises se…
Fast and Luminous Transients from the Explosions of Long Lived Massive White Dwarf Merger Remnants
Jared Brooks, Josiah Schwab, Lars Bildsten +4
We study the evolution and final outcome of long-lived ( years) remnants from the merger of a He white dwarf (WD) with a more massive C/O or O/Ne WD. Using Modules f…
