Detecting electromagnetic counterparts to LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA gravitational wave events with DECam: Neutron Star Mergers
Keerthi Kunnumkai, Antonella Palmese, Amanda M Farah +7
With GW170817 being the only multimessenger gravitational wave (GW) event with an associated kilonova detected so far, there exists a pressing need for realistic estimation of the…
Data-driven approach for modeling the temporal and spectral evolution of kilonova systematic uncertainties
Sahil Jhawar, Thibeau Wouters, Peter T. H. Pang +3
Kilonovae, possible electromagnetic counterparts to neutron star mergers, provide important information about high-energy transient phenomena and, in principle, also allow us to ob…
A cosmic formation site of silicon and sulphur revealed by a new type of supernova explosion
Steve Schulze, Avishay Gal-Yam, Luc Dessart +47
The cores of stars are the cosmic furnaces where light elements are fused into heavier nuclei. The fusion of hydrogen to helium initially powers all stars. The ashes of the fusion…
Kilonova emission from GW230529 and mass gap neutron star-black hole mergers
Keerthi Kunnumkai, Antonella Palmese, Mattia Bulla +3
The detection of the gravitational wave event GW230529, presumably a neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger, by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration marks an exciting discovery…
Searching for gravitational wave optical counterparts with the Zwicky Transient Facility: summary of O4a
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin +49
During the first half of the fourth observing run (O4a) of the International Gravitational Wave Network (IGWN), the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) conducted a systematic search fo…
