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.
