DOI: 10.1038/nature24290
Abstract: A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions—or mergers—of two neutron stars form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) that power γ-ray bursts of short (less than two seconds) duration. The observational support for this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-017-0285-z
Abstract: The merger of two dense stellar remnants including at least one neutron star is predicted to produce gravitational waves (GWs) and short-duration gamma ray bursts1,2. In the process, neutron-rich material is ejected from the system… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40562-017-0078-3
Abstract: Recent 230Th dating of fossil corals in west Luzon has provided new insights on the emergence of late Quaternary marine terraces that fringe west Luzon Island facing the Manila Trench. Apart from regional sea level… read more here.
