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

An online repository of Swift/XRT light curves of GRBs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a suite of programs that automatically generate Swift/XRT light curves of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) from X-ray light curves obtained with the UK Swift Science Data Centre.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing the CTA concept

B. S. Acharya, +982 more
TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) as discussed by the authors is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma ray observatory with an international collaboration with more than 1000 members from 27 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relativistic jet activity from the tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole

TL;DR: Observations of a bright X-ray flare from the extragalactic transient Swift J164449.3+573451 conclude that they have captured the onset of relativistic jet activity from a supermassive black hole.
