The Effect of the Velocity Distribution on Kilonova Emission
Chris L. Fryer, Aimee L. Hungerford, Ryan T. Wollaeger +7
The electromagnetic emission from the non-relativistic ejecta launched in neutron star mergers (either dynamically or through a disk wind) has the potential to probe both the total…
The LIGO HET Response (LIGHETR) Project to Discover and Spectroscopically Follow Optical Transients Associated with Neutron Star Mergers
M. J. Bustamante-Rosell, Greg Zeimann, J. Craig Wheeler +20
The LIGO HET Response (LIGHETR) project is an enterprise to follow up optical transients (OT) discovered as gravitational wave merger sources by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration (LVC).…
Monte Carlo Radiation Transport for Astrophysical Transients Powered by Circumstellar Interaction
Gururaj A. Wagle, Emmanouil Chatzopoulos, Ryan Wollaeger +1
In this paper, we introduce \texttt{SuperLite}, an open-source Monte Carlo radiation transport code designed to produce synthetic spectra for astrophysical transient phenomena affe…
Multi-Messenger Diagnostics of the Engine behind Core-Collapse Supernovae
Christopher L. Fryer, Eric Burns, Aimee Hungerford +6
Core-collapse supernova explosions play a wide role in astrophysics by producing compact remnants (neutron stars, black holes) and the synthesis and injection of many heavy element…
Interpolated kilonova spectra models: necessity for a phenomenological, blue component in the fitting of AT2017gfo spectra
Marko Ristic, Richard O'Shaughnessy, V. Ashley Villar +5
In this work, we present a simple interpolation methodology for spectroscopic time series, based on conventional interpolation techniques (random forests) implemented in widely-ava…
