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…

Improved constraints on H0 from a combined analysis of gravitational-wave and electromagnetic emission from GW170817

C. Guidorzi, R. Margutti, D. Brout +17

The luminosity distance measurement of GW170817 derived from GW analysis in Abbott et al. 2017 (here, A17:H0) is highly correlated with the measured inclination of the NS-NS system…
