The X-ray counterpart to the gravitational-wave event GW170817

TL;DR: The detection of X-ray emission at a location coincident with the kilonova transient provides the missing observational link between short γ-ray bursts and gravitational waves from neutron-star mergers, and gives independent confirmation of the collimated nature of the γ,ray-burst emission.

The Environment of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

TL;DR: The first binary neutron star merger detected via gravitational-wave emission by LIGO and Virgo, GW170817, was detected by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Chandra imaging, combined with very large Telescope MUSE integral field spectroscopy of the counterpart and host galaxy of the first binary Neutron Star merger as mentioned in this paper.
