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… Expand
GRB 090423 at a redshift of z ≈ 8.1
- R. Salvaterra, M. D. Valle, +42 authors V. Testa
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 8 June 2009
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced by rare types of massive stellar explosion. Their rapidly fading afterglows are often bright enough at optical wavelengths that they are detectable at… Expand
The Binary Neutron Star Event LIGO/Virgo GW170817 160 Days after Merger: Synchrotron Emission across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
- R. Margutti, K. Alexander, +17 authors 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… Expand
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, +10 authors 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… Expand
A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant
- B. Abbott, R. Abbott, +1,308 authors M. Serra-Ricart
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 16 October 2017
On 17 August 2017, the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors observed the gravitational-wave event GW170817—a strong signal from the merger of a binary neutron-star system. Less than two seconds after… Expand
Birth of a relativistic outflow in the unusual γ-ray transient Swift J164449.3+573451

- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 17 June 2011
Active galactic nuclei, which are powered by long-term accretion onto central supermassive black holes, produce relativistic jets with lifetimes of at least one million years, and the observation of… Expand
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. IV. Detection of Near-infrared Signatures of r-process Nucleosynthesis with Gemini-South
- R. Chornock, E. Berger, +26 authors M. Soares-Santos
- Physics
- 16 October 2017
We present a near-infrared spectral sequence of the electromagnetic counterpart to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 detected by Advanced LIGO/Virgo. Our dataset comprises seven epochs of J+H… Expand
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. V. Rising X-Ray Emission from an Off-axis Jet
- R. Margutti, E. Berger, +18 authors 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… Expand
Rapidly evolving and luminous transients from Pan-STARRS1
- M. Drout, R. Chornock, +33 authors C. Waters
- Physics
- 14 May 2014
In the past decade, several rapidly evolving transients have been discovered whose timescales and luminosities are not easily explained by traditional supernovae (SNe) models. The sample size of… Expand
