Eighteen Years of #Kilonova Discoveries with Swift: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18531 -> "Swift has now completed 18 years of mission, during which it discovered thousands of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as well as new classes of high-energy transient phenomena. [...] Swift has continued to expand the sample of known kilonovae, leading to the surprising discovery of a kilonova in a long duration GRB."

#Kilonova: When #NeutronStars Collide

"#Kilonovas get their names from the fact that they are 1000 times brighter than a #Nova. This does mean that they are about 1 tenth to 1 hundredth the #Brightness of a #Supernova, and because of how they form they are incredibly interesting indeed."

When Neutron Stars Collide, the Explosion is Perfectly Spherical

Astronomers first detected the collision of neutron stars using gravitational waves in 2017: a kilonova. Subsequent observations have mapped out the size and shape of the expanding cloud of debris. According to their simulations, the collision between two neutron stars orbiting one another 100 times a second should generate a flattened, asymmetrical cloud of debris. But the observations show that expanding kilonova remnant is entirely symmetrical, essentially a perfect sphere.

Kilonova announce new EP ‘Moment of Clarity’

Unstoppable Northern metallers Kilonova (who we've been following for years) return with an explosive new EP, Moment of Clarity, out everywhere on Friday 5th May. The EP is backed by a blistering new single and video, "Fragments", which arrives on Friday 3rd March.

When Kilonova burst out of the North-East of England in 2018, they

Utilizzando il telescopio SMARTS è stato identificato un sistema stellare che in futuro potrebbe generare una potente esplosione di kilonova.
Sistemi di questo tipo sono rarissimi: si stima ne esistano al massimo una decina in tutta la Via Lattea, e questo è il primo confermato.

My first thought was: how do elements created from merging neutron stars escape? I know they're insanely dense with gravity some 2 billion times stronger than the Earth.

So I googled it and discovered that material is still ejected in an event called a "kilonova". So named because its peak brightness is about 1000 times that of a typical nova.

It's impossible to imagine the energy involved in events like that.

Since there's a bunch of new folks here now, a re- #introduction !

I'm a PhD student in Glasgow, currently in post-submission and pre-viva limbo. I've worked on kilonovae, GW cosmology and LIGO calibration.

These days I mostly post art and pictures! I like hiking, painting, knitting and making stickers, along with a million other half-given up hobbies

You've heard of a #Nova, and a #Supernova, now get your head around the #Kilonova. This rare and violent event is the result of the collision of two neutron stars. What does it look like? Good question. The so-called 'surprise kilonova' GRB 211211A generated a long gamma ray burst and has been studied by various teams around the world. These three rather unsimilar artist's impressions were all released this week. #astronomy #space #science #GRB #spaceart

Three articles published in the journal "Nature" and one article published in the journal "Nature Astronomy" report various aspects of the studies conducted on the out-of-normal gamma-ray burst cataloged as GRB 211211A. At that time, the gravitational wave detectors were not active but the event's characteristics indicate that the origin is in a kilonova, a merger between two neutron stars.
