We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced
LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years …

Radio observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) probe material ejected by the disruption
of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs), uniquely tracing the formation and evolution …

Abstract The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public–private enterprise, is a new time-
domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope …

The binary neutron star merger event GW170817 was detected through both
electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves. Its afterglow emission may have been …

The binary neutron-star merger GW170817 was accompanied by radiation across the
electromagnetic spectrum and localized to the galaxy NGC 4993 at a distance of about 41 …

The afterglow of the binary neutron-star merger GW170817 gave evidence for a structured
relativistic jet,,,–and a link,, between such mergers and short gamma-ray bursts …

The Hubble constant (H 0) measures the current expansion rate of the Universe, and plays a
fundamental role in cosmology. Tremendous effort has been dedicated over the past …

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 combine gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) data to perform a Bayesian
parameter estimation of the binary neutron star (NS) merger GW170817. The EM likelihood …

We present observations of the optical afterglow of GRB 170817A, made by the Hubble
Space Telescope, between 2018 February and August, up to one year after the neutron star …
