The brightening of 170817 is , indeed obvious in the below image pair...
...as is the stability of the reference star at lower right.

But, I can't help but wonder how they explain the apparent brightness increase of NGC 4993 -- in the middle...
It’s coming right at us!
X-ray observations are consistent with radiowave data reported last month by another team of scientists, who also indicated that it was continuing to brighten during the three months since the collision. During this same period, X-ray and optical observatories were unable to monitor GW170817/GRB because it was too close to the Sun at the time.
...
GW170817/GRB was first discovered as a gravitational wave event by LIGO. Shortly after it was seen in the electromagnetic spectrum. The first time such a correlation was ever observed, a truly magnificent human accomplishment.
Nothing to see here. It’s just the planet Gazork bundling and sending back all of our TV and radio shows they have received over the years. They consider it to be all trash except for Jerry Springer of course.
Women an Daca kids will be hurt the most....
We may be in a alien vacuum tube.
FTA: the afterglow turned out to be brighter in the X-ray wavelengths, just as it was in the radio
