Methods and results of an automatic analysis of a complete sample of Swift-XRT observations of GRBs
- P. Evans, A. Beardmore, N. Tanvir
- Physics
- 18 December 2008
We present a homogeneous X-ray analysis of all 318 gamma-ray bursts detected by the X-ray telescope (XRT) on the Swift satellite up to 2008 July 23; this represents the largest sample of X-ray GRB…

A Decade of Short-duration Gamma-ray Burst Broadband Afterglows: Energetics, Circumburst Densities, and jet Opening Angles
- W. Fong, E. Berger, R. Margutti, B. Zauderer
- Physics
- 9 September 2015
We present a comprehensive catalog and analysis of broad-band afterglow observations for 103 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), comprised of all short GRBs from November 2004 to March 2015 with…

The Binary Neutron Star Event LIGO/Virgo GW170817 160 Days after Merger: Synchrotron Emission across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
- R. Margutti, K. Alexander, J. Zrake
- Physics
- 10 January 2018
We report deep Chandra, HST and VLA observations of the binary neutron star event GW170817 at $t<160$ d after merger. These observations show that GW170817 has been steadily brightening with time and…
The Combined Ultraviolet, Optical, and Near-infrared Light Curves of the Kilonova Associated with the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817: Unified Data Set, Analytic Models, and Physical Implications
- V. Villar, J. Guillochon, P. Williams
- Physics
- 31 October 2017
We present the first effort to aggregate, homogenize, and uniformly model the combined ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared dataset for the electromagnetic counterpart of the binary neutron star…

- R. Margutti, E. Berger, M. Soares-Santos
- Physics
- 16 October 2017
We report the discovery of rising X-ray emission from the binary neutron star (BNS) merger event GW170817. This is the first detection of X-ray emission from a gravitational-wave source. Observations…
Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
- B. Abbott, R. Abbott, S. Rosswog
- Physics
- 26 February 2016
A gravitational-wave (GW) transient was identified in data recorded by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors on 2015 September 14. The event, initially…
