Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron-star merger
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable
phenomena: a short burst of γ-rays, a gravitational-wave signal, and a transient optical–near …

The X-ray counterpart to the gravitational-wave event GW170817
A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions—or mergers—of two neutron
stars form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) that power γ-ray bursts of short …

Illuminating gravitational waves: A concordant picture of photons from a neutron star merger
Merging neutron stars offer an excellent laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field
gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an …
