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.
Journal ArticleDOI

First cosmological results using Type Ia supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: Measurement of the Hubble constant

Edward Macaulay, +115 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an improved measurement of the Hubble constant using the inverse distance ladder method, which added the information from 207 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the DES at redshift 0.018
Journal ArticleDOI

First cosmology results using type Ia supernovae from the Dark Energy Survey: constraints on cosmological parameters

T. M. C. Abbott, +156 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first cosmological parameter constraints using measurements of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN) were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey

M. Pursiainen, +94 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a search for rapidly evolving transients in the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Programme were presented, including 72 events, including 37 transients with a spectroscopic redshift from host galaxy spectral features.
