TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that NGC 2617 went through a dramatic outburst, during which its X-ray flux increased by over an order of magnitude followed by an increase of its optical/ultraviolet (UV) continuum flux.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swope Supernova Survey 2017a (SSS17a), the optical counterpart to a gravitational wave source
David A. Coulter,Ryan J. Foley,Charles D. Kilpatrick,Maria R. Drout,Anthony L. Piro,Benjamin J. Shappee,Matthew R. Siebert,J. D. Simon,N. Ulloa,Daniel Kasen,Daniel Kasen,Barry F. Madore,Barry F.

TL;DR: A rapid astronomical search located the optical counterpart of the neutron star merger GW170817 and shows how these observations can be explained by an explosion known as a kilonova, which produces large quantities of heavy elements in nuclear reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of photometric and spectrophotometric data on five Seyfert 1 galaxies observed as a part of a recent reverberation mapping program is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new cepheid distance to the giant spiral m101 based on image subtraction of hubble space telescope/advanced camera for surveys observations
Benjamin J. Shappee,K. Z. Stanek +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new Cepheid distance to M101 (NGC 5457) was determined using archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Advanced Camera for Surveys V and I time series photometry of two fields within the galaxy.
