VarIabiLity seLection of AstrophysIcal sources iN PTF (VILLAIN) II. Supervised classification of variable sources

S. H. Bruun, J. Hjorth, A. Agnello

Context. Large, high-dimensional astronomical surveys require efficient data analysis. Automatic fitting of lightcurve variability and machine learning may assist in identification…

VarIabiLity seLection of AstrophysIcal sources iN PTF (VILLAIN) I. Structure function fits to 71 million objects

S. H. Bruun, A. Agnello, J. Hjorth

Context. Lightcurve variability is well-suited for characterising objects in surveys with high cadence and long baseline. This is especially relevant in view of the large datasets…

Hubble constant and nuclear equation of state from kilonova spectro-photometric light curves

M. A. Pérez-García, L. Izzo, D. Barba +17

The merger of two compact objects of which at least one is a neutron star is signalled by transient electromagnetic emission in a kilonova (KN). This event is accompanied by gravit…

The Young Supernova Experiment: Survey Goals, Overview, and Operations

D. O. Jones, R. J. Foley, G. Narayan +68

Time domain science has undergone a revolution over the past decade, with tens of thousands of new supernovae (SNe) discovered each year. However, several observational domains, in…

Observational constraints on the optical and near-infrared emission from the neutron star-black hole binary merger S190814bv

K. Ackley, L. Amati, C. Barbieri +151

On 2019 August 14, the LIGO and Virgo interferometers detected a high-significance event labelled S190814bv. Preliminary analysis of the GW data suggests that the event was likely…

The Distance to NGC 4993: The Host Galaxy of the Gravitational-wave Event GW170817

Jens Hjorth, Andrew J. Levan, Nial R. Tanvir +6

The historic detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger (GW170817) and its electromagnetic counterpart led to the first accurate (sub-arcsecond) localizatio…

The environment of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman, N. R. Tanvir +37

We present Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra imaging, combined with Very Large Telescope MUSE integral field spectroscopy of the counterpart and host galaxy of the first binary ne…
