    • A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave source 
      Smartt, S. J.; Chen, T. W.; Jerkstrand, A.; Dessart, L.; Razza, A. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
      Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black-hole mergers(1) and they should also be detectable from lower-mass neutron-star mergers. These are predicted to eject material rich in heavy radioactive ...
