SN2013fs and SN2013fr: Exploring the circumstellar-material diversity in Type II supernovae
Christopher Bullivant, Nathan Smith, G. Grant Williams +12
We present photometry and spectroscopy of SN2013fs and SN2013fr in the first 100 days post-explosion. Both objects showed transient, relatively narrow H emission lines character…
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…
Light Curves of the Neutron Star Merger GW170817/SSS17a: Implications for R-Process Nucleosynthesis
M. R. Drout, A. L. Piro, B. J. Shappee +41
On 2017 August 17, gravitational waves were detected from a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, along with a coincident short gamma-ray burst, GRB170817A. An optical transient so…
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…
