On the maximum luminosity of galaxies and their central black holes: feedback from momentum-driven winds

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that large-scale galactic winds driven by momentum deposition are an efficient mechanism for feedback during the formation of galaxies and that these winds can expel a significant fraction of the gas in a galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electromagnetic counterparts of compact object mergers powered by the radioactive decay of r‐process nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first calculations of the optical transients from compact object mergers that self-consistently determine the radioactive heating by means of a nuclear reaction network; using this heating rate, they model the light curve with a one-dimensional Monte Carlo radiation transfer calculation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin of the heavy elements in binary neutron-star mergers from a gravitational-wave event

TL;DR: The ejected mass and a merger rate inferred from GW170817 imply that such mergers are a dominant mode of r-process production in the Universe.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

B. P. Abbott, +1322 more
- 02 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: A measurement of the Hubble constant is reported that combines the distance to the source inferred purely from the gravitational-wave signal with the recession velocity inferred from measurements of the redshift using the electromagnetic data.
