TL;DR: It is demonstrated that merging neutron stars are a long-sought production site forging heavy elements by r-process nucleosynthesis, which is dissimilar to classical short gamma-ray bursts with ultrarelativistic jets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the detection of a counterpart radio source that appears 16 days after the GW170817 binary neutron star merger event, allowing them to diagnose the energetics and environment of the merger.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superluminal motion of a relativistic jet in the neutron-star merger GW170817
Kunal Mooley,Kunal Mooley,Adam Deller,Ore Gottlieb,Ehud Nakar,Gregg Hallinan,Stephen Bourke,Dale A. Frail,Assaf Horesh,A. Corsi,Kenta Hotokezaka +10 more
TL;DR: Radio observations using very long-baseline interferometry find that the compact radio source associated with GW170817 exhibits superluminal apparent motion between 75 days and 230 days after the merger event, which breaks the degeneracy between the choked- and successful-jet cocoon models.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results of a Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) archival search for blue transients that lie in the magnitude range between "normal" corecollapse and superluminous supernovae (i.e., with −21 ≤ M_(R (peak)) ≤ − 19) were presented in this article.
