Swift Multiwavelength Follow-up of LVC S200224ca and the Implications for Binary Black Hole Mergers
N. J. Klingler, A. Lien, S. R. Oates +41
On 2020 February 24, during their third observing run ("O3"), the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory and Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected S200224ca: a candidate…
Swift-XRT follow-up of gravitational wave triggers during the third aLIGO/Virgo observing run
K. L. Page, P. A. Evans, A. Tohuvavohu +41
The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory followed up 18 gravitational wave (GW) triggers from the LIGO/Virgo collaboration during the O3 observing run in 2019/2020, performing approximat…
Swift-XRT Follow-up of Gravitational Wave Triggers in the Second Advanced LIGO/Virgo Observing Run
N. J. Klingler, J. A. Kennea, P. A. Evans +37
The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory carried out prompt searches for gravitational wave (GW) events detected by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration (LVC) during the second observing run ("O…
A study of gamma-ray burst afterglows as they first come into view of the Swift Ultraviolet and Optical Telescope
M. J. Page, S. R. Oates, M. De Pasquale +6
We examine the the emission from optically bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows as the Ultraviolet and Optical Telescope (UVOT) on the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory first begin…
GRB171205A/SN2017iuk: A local low-luminosity gamma-ray burst
V. D'Elia, S. Campana, A. D'Aì +19
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) occurring in the local Universe constitute an interesting sub-class of the GRB family, since their luminosity is on average lower than that of their cosmolo…
Swift spectra of AT2018cow: A White Dwarf Tidal Disruption Event?
N. Paul M. Kuin, Kinwah Wu, Samantha Oates +19
The bright transient AT2018cow has been unlike any other known type of transient. Its high brightness, rapid rise and decay and initially nearly featureless spectrum are unpreceden…
Swift and NuSTAR observations of GW170817: detection of a blue kilonova
P. A. Evans, S. B. Cenko, J. A. Kennea +56
With the first direct detection of merging black holes in 2015, the era of gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics began. A complete picture of compact object mergers, however, requir…
Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger
M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78
Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…
GRB 161219B-SN 2016jca: a powerful stellar collapse
C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +26
We report observations and analysis of the nearby gamma-ray burst GRB\,161219B (redshift ) and the associated Type Ic supernova (SN) 2016jca. GRB\,161219B had an isotropi…
