Physical processes shaping GRB X-ray afterglow lightcurves: theoretical implications from the Swift XRT observations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically analyze the possible physical processes that shape the properties of the early X-ray afterglow lightcurves, and use the data to constrain various models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger

Elena Pian, +90 more
- 16 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: The spectral identification and physical properties of a bright kilonova associated with the gravitational-wave source GW170817 and γ-ray burst GRB 170817A associated with a galaxy at a distance of 40 megaparsecs from Earth are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct detection of a break in the teraelectronvolt cosmic-ray spectrum of electrons and positrons

G. Ambrosi, +157 more
- 29 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: The direct detection of a spectral break at about 0.9 teraelectronvolts confirms the evidence found by previous indirect measurements, clarifies the behaviour of the CRE spectrum at energies above 1 terAElectronvolt and sheds light on the physical origin of the sub-teraelectronsvolt CREs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A possible macronova in the late afterglow of the long-short burst GRB 060614

TL;DR: The discovery of near-infrared bump that is significantly above the regular decaying afterglow is reported, which is inconsistent with even the weakest known supernova.
