We present the full panchromatic afterglow light curve data of GW170817, including new radio data as well as archival optical and X-ray data, between 0.5 and 940 days post-merger. By compiling all archival data, and reprocessing a subset of it, we have evaluated the impact of differences in data processing or flux determination methods used by different groups, and attempted to mitigate these differences to provide a more uniform dataset. Simple power-law fits to the uniform afterglow light curve indicate a $t^{0.86\pm0.04}$ rise, a $t^{-1.92\pm0.12}$ decline, and a peak occurring at $155\pm4$ days. The afterglow is optically thin throughout its evolution, consistent with a single spectral index ($-0.584\pm0.002$) across all epochs. This gives a precise and updated estimate of the electron power-law index, $p=2.168\pm0.004$. By studying the diffuse X-ray emission from the host galaxy, we place a conservative upper limit on the hot ionized ISM density, $<$0.01 cm$^{-3}$, consistent with previous afterglow studies. Using the late-time afterglow data we rule out any long-lived neutron star remnant having magnetic field strength between 10$^{10.4}$ G and 10$^{16}$ G. Our fits to the afterglow data using an analytical model that includes VLBI proper motion from Mooley et al. (2018), and a structured jet model that ignores the proper motion, indicates that the proper motion measurement needs to be considered while seeking an accurate estimate of the viewing angle.
Comment: Accepted by ApJ. Revised X-ray and up-to-date afterglow measurements are available in ASCII format on GitHub (https://github.com/kmooley/GW170817/) and mirrored on tauceti.caltech.edu (http://www.tauceti.caltech.edu/kunal/gw170817/). The online dataset will be continuously updated as new measurements become available
