Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star

TL;DR: AGILE as discussed by the authors is an ASI space mission developed with programmatic support by INAF and INFN, which includes data gathered with the 1 meter Swope and 6.5 meter Magellan Telescopes located at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

B. P. Abbott, +1322 more
- 02 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: A measurement of the Hubble constant is reported that combines the distance to the source inferred purely from the gravitational-wave signal with the recession velocity inferred from measurements of the redshift using the electromagnetic data.
Journal ArticleDOI

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

Stephen J. Smartt, +140 more
- 02 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: Observations and physical modelling of a rapidly fading electromagnetic transient in the galaxy NGC 4993, which is spatially coincident with GW170817, indicate that neutron-star mergers produce gravitational waves and radioactively powered kilonovae, and are a nucleosynthetic source of the r-process elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO)/Virgo (GW170817) and as a short gamma-ray burst by Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Integral SPI-ACS (GRB 170817A).
