The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51
We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
Swift and NuSTAR observations of GW170817: detection of a blue kilonova
P. A. Evans, S. B. Cenko, J. A. Kennea +56
With the first direct detection of merging black holes in 2015, the era of gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics began. A complete picture of compact object mergers, however, requir…
Light Curves and Spectra from a Unimodal Core-Collapse SuperNova
Ryan T. Wollaeger, Aimee L. Hungerford, Chris L. Fryer +3
To assess the effectiveness of optical emission as a probe of spatial asymmetry in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), we apply the radiative transfer software, \supernu, to a unimod…
Assessing the Observability of Hypernovae and Pair-Instability Supernovae in the Early Universe
Brandon K. Wiggins, Joseph M. Smidt, Daniel J. Whalen +3
The era of the universe's first (Population III) stars is essentially unconstrained by observation. Ultra-luminous and massive stars from this time altered the chemistry of the cos…
