 +====== UV emission and importance and epoch ======
 +
 +Arcavi18 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/aab267/pdf   says: 
 +
 +  * UV in the first ~ 1-4 hr is critical in distinguishing models because the later models are degenerate (1)
 +  * The discovery was postponed to 5 hr because of a "glitch" in one of the GW detectors (but BG notes this depended on weather, availability of SA telescope).
 +
 +(1) "The combined optical data show an early rise consistent with radioactive decay of low-opacity ejecta as the main emission source, but the subsequent decline is fit well by all models."
