The Combined Ultraviolet, Optical, and Near-Infrared Light Curves of the Kilonova Associated with the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817: Unified Data Set, Analytic Models, and Physical Implications
V. Ashley Villar, James Guillochon, Edo Berger +10
We present the first effort to aggregate, homogenize, and uniformly model the combined ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared dataset for the electromagnetic counterpart of the bi…
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…
The superluminous supernova SN 2017egm in the nearby galaxy NGC 3191: a metal-rich environment can support a typical SLSN evolution
Matt Nicholl, Edo Berger, Raffaella Margutti +4
At redshift z=0.03, the recently-discovered SN 2017egm is the nearest Type I superluminous supernova (SLSN) to date, and first near the center of a massive spiral galaxy (NGC 3191)…
Theoretical Models of Optical Transients. I. A Broad Exploration of the Duration-Luminosity Phase Space
V. Ashley Villar, Edo Berger, Brian D. Metzger +1
The duration-luminosity phase space of optical transients is used, mostly heuristically, to compare various classes of transient events, to explore the origin of new transients, an…
The Galactic Distribution of Fragments Formed from Tidally Disrupted Stars
Eden Girma, James Guillochon
Approximately once every years, a star passes close enough to the supermassive black hole Sgr A* at the center of the Milky Way to be pulled apart by the black hole's tidal…
iPTF15eqv: Multi-wavelength Exposé of a Peculiar Calcium-rich Transient
D. Milisavljevic, D. Patnaude, J. Raymond +15
The progenitor systems of the class of "Ca-rich transients" is a key open issue in time domain astrophysics. These intriguing objects exhibit unusually strong calcium line emission…
