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.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the maximum mass of stellar black holes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the spectrum of compact object masses: neutron stars and black holes (BHs) that originate from single stars in different environments and calculate the dependence of maximum BH mass on metallicity and on some specific wind mass loss rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sub-luminous type Ia supernovae from the mergers of equal-mass white dwarfs with mass ~0.9Msolar

TL;DR: A simulation of the merger of two equal-mass white dwarfs that leads to a sub-luminous explosion, although at the expense of requiring a single common-envelope phase, and component masses of ∼0.9M⊙.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detonations in sub-chandrasekhar-mass c+o white dwarfs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed one-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations, associated post-processing nucleosynthesis, and multi-wavelength radiation transport calculations for pure detonations of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (WDs).
