Illuminating gravitational waves: A concordant picture of photons from a neutron star merger

Mansi M. Kasliwal, +94 more
- 22 Dec 2017 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger

Mansi M. Kasliwal, +94 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established the physical association of an electromagnetic counterpart EM170817 to gravitational waves (GW 170817) detected from merging neutron stars by synthesizing a panchromatic dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Berkeley Supernova Ia Program – I. Observations, data reduction and spectroscopic sample of 582 low-redshift Type Ia supernovae

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a low-redshift optical spectra of 582 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed from 1989 to 2008 as part of the Berkeley Supernova Ia Program (BSNIP).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-ray Bursts. I. Comparing pre-Swift and Swift-era Long/Soft (Type II) GRB Optical Afterglows

David Alexander Kann, +83 more
TL;DR: The first indications of a class of long GRBs are presented, which form a bridge between the typical high-luminosity, high-redshift events and nearby low- luminosity events (which are also associated with spectroscopic supernovae) in terms of energetics and observed redshift distribution, indicating a continuous distribution overall.
