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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-infrared Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models

Philip S. Cowperthwaite, +161 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (GBMF5076) and the Heising-Simons Foundation (HSPF) have contributed to the creation of the DES-Brazil Consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. II. UV, Optical, and Near-IR Light Curves and Comparison to Kilonova Models

Philip S. Cowperthwaite, +99 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 was inferred from the optical and NIR spectrograms of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source from Advanced LIGO/Virgo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. I. Discovery of the Optical Counterpart Using the Dark Energy Camera

Marcelle Soares-Santos, +162 more
TL;DR: The Dark Energy Camera (DECam) was used to detect the optical counterpart of the first binary neutron star merger detected through gravitational-wave emission, GW170817.
