Data pubblicazione: | 2017 | Rivista: | SCIENCE | Numero: | 358 | Fascicolo: | 6370 | Da pagina:: | 1565 | Abstract: | The gravitational wave event GW170817 was caused by the merger of two neutron stars (see the Introduction by Smith). In three papers, teams associated with the GROWTH (Global Relay of Observatories Watching Transients Happen) project present their observations of the event at wavelengths from x-rays to radio waves. Evans et al. used space telescopes to detect GW170817 in the ultraviolet and place limits on its x-ray flux, showing that the merger generated a hot explosion known as a blue kilonova. Hallinan et al. describe radio emissions generated as the explosion slammed into the surrounding gas within the host galaxy. Kasliwal et al. present additional observations in the optical and infrared and formulate a model for the event involving a cocoon of material expanding at close to the speed of light, matching the data at all observed wavelengths. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26983 | URL: | https://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6370/1565 | ISSN: | 0036-8075 | DOI: | 10.1126/science.aap9580 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017Sci...358.1565E | Fulltext: | open |
