Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger
E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
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…
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…
The Redshift Completeness of Local Galaxy Catalogs
S. R. Kulkarni, D. A. Perley, A. A. Miller
There is considerable interest in understanding the demographics of galaxies within the local universe (defined, for our purposes, as the volume within a radius of 200 Mpc or z<0.0…
Mass and metallicity scaling relations of high redshift star-forming galaxies selected by GRBs
M. Arabsalmani, P. Møller, D. A. Perley +19
We present a comprehensive study of the relations between gas kinematics, metallicity, and stellar mass in a sample of 82 GRB-selected galaxies using absorption and emission method…
Light curves of hydrogen-poor Superluminous Supernovae from the Palomar Transient Factory
Annalisa De Cia, A. Gal-Yam, A. Rubin +24
We investigate the light-curve properties of a sample of 26 spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) in the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) surv…
