The Potential of Coordinated Gravitational-wave Follow-up for Improving Kilonova Detection Prospects: Lessons from GW190425

The Astrophysical Journal
The discovery of a kilonova associated with the GW170817 binary neutron star (BNS) merger had far-reaching implications for our understanding of several open questions in physics and astrophysics. Unfortunately, since then, only one robust BNS merger has

Las Cumbres Observatory Gravitational-wave Follow-up in the Third and Fourth Observing Runs: Strengths and Weaknesses of a Rapid Response Galaxy Targeted Strategy

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a summary of gravitational-wave (GW) follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of telescopes during the third (O3) and fourth (O4) observing runs of the GW detectors. As in O2, we implemented the Gehrels et al.

How Can the Optical Variation Properties of Active Galactic Nuclei Be Unbiasedly Measured?

The Astrophysical Journal
The variability of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is ubiquitous, but has not yet been understood. Measuring the optical variation properties of AGNs, such as the variation timescale and amplitude, and then correlating them with their fundamental physical ...
