1. Szabolcs Marka:

   And when we hear the universe, we will learn about the secret life of black holes -- their birth, their death, their marriage, their feeding. We will hear when a black hole eats a neutron star, nobody has 'seen' that before. We will not only understand it, we will 'see' it. It's the most fascinating thing I can imagine.

2. Daryl Haggard:

   We think of this as maybe a shattering of the neutron star surface, or some really violent event on the neutron star that causes it to get very, very bright and then fade slowly over time.

3. Northwesterns Raffaella Margutti:

   We think that The Cow is the formation of an accreting black hole or neutron star, we know from theory that black holes and neutron stars form when a star dies, but weve never seen them right after they are born. Never.

4. Susan Scott:

   We have always thought that there should be binary systems of a black hole and a neutron star circling each other out in space, so if this event is confirmed, it would be the first evidence that such systems do actually exist, and that some of them are spiraling closer and closer and eventually smashing together.

5. Sharon Morsink:

   In that work, we have to assume that Einsteins theory of gravity is correct, since the data analysis is already very complex, so tests of Einsteins gravity using neutron stars really make me feel better about our assumption that Einsteins theory describes the gravity of a neutron star correctly!
