Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This composite shows images of the galaxy NGC 4993 from several different ESO telescopes and instruments. They all reveal a faint source of light close to the centre. This is a kilonova, the explosion resulting from the merger of two neutron stars. This merger produced both gravitational waves, detected by LIGO–Virgo (GW170817), and gamma rays, detected by Fermi and INTEGRAL in space. |
