...We evaluate the Mej fit using the binary parameters derived from the GW analysis (Abbott et al. 2017c)....

...In extreme cases, this fraction is up to 50%, but also arises from EOSs that have been disfavored in Abbott et al. (2017c)....

...…UTC, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO)/Virgo gravitationalwave (GW) observatory network, composed of LIGO Hanford Observatory, LIGO Livingston Observatory, and Virgo, recorded GWs consistent with a binary neutron star (BNS) inspiral and merger (Abbott et al. 2017c)....

...Since we reported in Abbott et al. (2017b) that prompt collapse can only be excluded for extreme EOSs such as MS1, and the fit at values below 3×10−3Me strongly overestimates the ejecta mass compared to the numerical relativity (NR) data points, the fit cannot reliably exclude zero ejecta mass…...

...The tidal deformabilities allowed by GW170817 (Abbott et al. 2017c) do disfavor stiffer EOSs; however, many remain compatible with our measurements....

...(2) The optical light curves decline rapidly while the near-infrared light curves evolve more slowly: the flux is dominated by near-infrared light at t > 5 days after GW170817 (hereafter t denotes the time after GW170817)....

...The optical and near-infrared counterpart to GW170817, SSS17a, provides an excellent opportunity to study the mass ejection mechanisms of NS mergers and nucleosynthesis in the ejecta....

...Recent detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star (NS) merger event GW170817 and identification of an electromagnetic counterpart provide a unique opportunity to study the phys- ical processes in NS mergers....

...The detection of GW170817 triggered electromagnetic (EM) observations over the entire wavelength range....

...The first gravitational wave (GW) detection from a neutron star merger was successfully made for GW170817 (Abbott et al. 2017)....

...This can help to overcome the distanceinclination degeneracy in the gravitational wave signal, and derive a more precise distance (and hence cosmological parameters; Abbott et al. 2017c)....
