- A significant fraction of the results of this paper were based on the optical through to near-infrared light curve evolution of the kilonova, which covers the wavelength range to identify the so-called 'blue' and 'red' kilonova components. These data were obtained by the GROND instrument, which observed in 7 bands simultaneously. The more robust and conclusive results of the paper came from GROND data. Schady was a member of the GROND team and supervised the paper’s second author, T.-W. Chen (a postdoctoral research associate). She contributed to data acquisition and reduction from GROND, and verified Chen’s work.
