A Neutron Star Binary Merger Model for GW170817/GRB170817a/SSS17a
Ariadna Murguia-Berthier, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Charles D. Kilpatrick +14
The merging neutron star gravitational wave event GW170817 has been observed throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to -rays. The resulting energetics,…
Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a), the Optical Counterpart to a Gravitational Wave Source
D. A. Coulter, R. J. Foley, C. D. Kilpatrick +14
On 2017 August 17, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo interferometer detected gravitational waves emanating from a binary neutron star mer…
The Unprecedented Properties of the First Electromagnetic Counterpart to a Gravitational Wave Source
Matthew R. Siebert, Ryan J. Foley, Maria R. Drout +15
We discovered Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a) in the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) localization volume of GW170817, the first detected binary neutron star (BNS) merger, only…
The Old Host-Galaxy Environment of SSS17a, the First Electromagnetic Counterpart to a Gravitational Wave Source
Y. -C. Pan, C. D. Kilpatrick, J. D. Simon +16
We present an analysis of the host-galaxy environment of Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a), the discovery of an electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source, GW17…
Electromagnetic Evidence that SSS17a is the Result of a Binary Neutron Star Merger
Charles D. Kilpatrick, Ryan J. Foley, Daniel Kasen +18
11 hours after the detection of gravitational wave source GW170817 by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Virgo Interferometers, an associated optical trans…
The 2014-2017 outburst of the young star ASASSN-13db: A time-resolved picture of a very low-mass star between EXors and FUors
A. Sicilia-Aguilar, A. Oprandi, D. Froebrich +13
ASASSN-13db is a M5-type star with a protoplanetary disk, the lowest mass star known to experience accretion outbursts. Since its discovery in 2013, it has experienced two outburst…
