A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black-hole mergers(1) and they should also be detectable from lower-mass neutron-star mergers. These are predicted to eject material rich in heavy radioactive ...
Um pipeline de redução de dados espectroscópicos para eventos de quilonova
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilFísicaUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em FísicaCentro de Ciências Naturais e Exatas, 2020-11-09)
This work presents the process of making a pipeline for the reduction of longslit spectroscopic
data, acquired with the GMOS instrument of the Gemini Observatory as part of the optical
follow-up of kilonovae candidates. ...
The electromagnetic counterpart of the binary neutron star merger LIGO/Virgo GW170817. II. UV, optical, and near-infrared light curves and comparison to kilonova models
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017)
We present UV, optical, and near-infrared (NIR) photometry of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source from Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO)/Virgo, the binary ...
Constraints on the Physical Properties of GW190814 through Simulations Based on DECam Follow-up Observations by the Dark Energy Survey
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020-09)
On 2019 August 14, the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations detected gravitational waves from a black hole and a 2.6 solar mass compact object, possibly the first neutron star-black hole merger. In search of an optical counterpart, ...
