A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

Stephen J. Smartt, +140 more
- 02 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: Observations and physical modelling of a rapidly fading electromagnetic transient in the galaxy NGC 4993, which is spatially coincident with GW170817, indicate that neutron-star mergers produce gravitational waves and radioactively powered kilonovae, and are a nucleosynthetic source of the r-process elements.

SN 2017dio: A Type-Ic supernova exploding in a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium

Hanindyo Kuncarayakti, +52 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral characteristics of a type-Ic supernova (SN) and signs of a hydrogen-rich circumstellar medium (CSM) were confirmed by removing the CSM interaction component from the spectrum and comparing with known SNe Ic and, reversely, adding a SNE Ic interaction component to the spectra of known SN Ic and comparing them to SN 2017dio.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and follow-up of the unusual nuclear transient OGLE17aaj

TL;DR: The OGLE-IV light curve of OGLE17aaj as mentioned in this paper covers the slow 60-day-long rise to maximum along with photometric, spectroscopic, and X-ray follow-up during the first year.

The OGLE Collection of Variable Stars. Over 450 000 Eclipsing and Ellipsoidal Binary Systems Toward the Galactic Bulge

TL;DR: In this article, a collection of 450 598 eclipsing and ellipsoidal binary systems detected in the OGLE fields toward the Galactic bulge is presented, consisting of binary systems of all types: detached, semi-detached, and contact eclipsing binaries, RS CVn stars, cataclysmic variables, HW Vir binaries, double periodic variables, and even planetary transits.
