UV-Luminous, Star-Forming Hosts of z~2 Reddened Quasars in the Dark Energy Survey

C. F. Wethers, M. Banerji, P. C. Hewett +55

We present the first rest-frame UV population study of 17 heavily reddened, high-luminosity (E(B-V) 0.5; L 10ergs) broad-line quasar…

Evidence for Dynamically Driven Formation of the GW170817 Neutron Star Binary in NGC 4993

A. Palmese, W. Hartley, F. Tarsitano +89

We present a study of NGC 4993, the host galaxy of the GW170817 gravitational wave event, the GRB170817A short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) and the AT2017gfo kilonova. We use Dark Energy…
