Estimating the Contribution of Dynamical Ejecta in the Kilonova Associated with GW170817
The source of the gravitational-wave (GW) signal GW170817, very likely a binary neutron star merger, was also observed electromagnetically, providing the first multi-messenger observations of this type. The two-week-long electromagnetic (EM) counterpart had a signature indicative of an r-process-induced optical transient known as a kilonova. This Letter examines how the mass of the dynamical ej...
متن کاملSwift and NuSTAR observations of GW170817: Detection of a blue kilonova.
With the first direct detection of merging black holes in 2015, the era of gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics began. A complete picture of compact object mergers, however, requires the detection of an electromagnetic (EM) counterpart. We report ultraviolet (UV) and x-ray observations by Swift and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array of the EM counterpart of the binary neutron star merger...

متن کاملAn Exploration of Observable Features Related to Blogger Age
Accurate prediction of blogger age from evidence in the text and metadata of blog entries would be valuable for marketing, privacy, and law enforcement concerns. This paper offers an initial exploratory data analysis of candidate features for blogger age prediction.
متن کاملDark Energy after GW170817 and GRB170817A.
The observation of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart implies that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, with deviations smaller than a few×10^{-15}. We discuss the consequences of this experimental result for models of dark energy and modified gravity characterized by a single scalar degree of freedom. To avoid tuning, the speed of gravitational waves must be unaffected n...
