The mergers of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
promising gravitational wave (GW) sources for Advanced LIGO and future GW detectors. The …

We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

The recent detections of the∼ 10 s long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) 211211A and 230307A
followed by softer temporally extended emission (EE) and kilonovae point to a new GRB …

Stellar evolution theory predicts a" gap" in the black hole birth function caused by the pair
instability. Many presupernova stars that have a core mass below some limiting value, M …

The production of elements by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in neutron-star mergers is
expected theoretically and is supported by multimessenger observations,–of gravitational …

The coalescence of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
prime sources of gravitational waves (GW) for Advanced LIGO/Virgo and future ground …

We investigate the long-term evolution of black hole accretion discs formed in neutron star
mergers. These discs expel matter that contributes to an r-process kilonova, and can …

We present a comprehensive catalog and analysis of broadband afterglow observations for
103 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), comprised of all short GRBs from 2004 …

The 2017 detection of the inspiral and merger of two neutron stars in gravitational waves
and gamma rays was accompanied by a quickly reddening transient. Such a transient was …

The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of
the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some …
