ENGRAVE follow-up of a type IIb supernova spatially coincident with the sub-threshold gravitational wave trigger S250818k

K. Ackley, M. T. Botticella, A. Boye +54

The candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k was one of only three non-retracted LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA public alerts issued during the fourth observing run of the network (O4) w…

Binary neutron star merger offsets from their host galaxies. GW 170817 as a case study

N. Gaspari, H. F. Stevance, A. J. Levan +2

Aims. The locations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers within their host galaxies encode the systemic kicks that these systems received in the supernova aftermath. We investigate…

Environmental dependence of Type IIn supernova properties

Takashi J. Moriya, Lluis Galbany, Cristina Jimenez-Palau +9

Type IIn supernovae occur when stellar explosions are surrounded by dense hydrogen-rich circumstellar matter. The dense circumstellar matter is likely formed by extreme mass loss f…

GRB 201015A and the nature of low-luminosity soft gamma-ray bursts

M. Patel, B. P. Gompertz, P. T. O'Brien +20

GRB 201015A is a peculiarly low luminosity, spectrally soft gamma-ray burst (GRB), with s (time interval of detection of 90\% of photons from the GRB), a…

Searching for ejected supernova companions in the era of precise proper motion and radial velocity measurements

A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, J. J. Eldridge +7

The majority of massive stars are born in binaries, and most unbind upon the first supernova. With precise proper motion surveys such as Gaia, it is possible to trace back the moti…

End-to-end study of the home and genealogy of the first binary neutron star merger

Heloise F. Stevance, Jan J. Eldridge, Elizabeth R. Stanway +3

Binary neutron star mergers are one of the ultimate events of massive binary star evolution, and our understanding of their parent system is still in its infancy. Upcoming gravitat…
