Multiwavelength observations of GRB 140629A. A long burst with an achromatic jet break in the optical and X-ray afterglow

Y. -D. Hu, S. R. Oates, V. M. Lipunov +31

We investigate the long GRB140629A through multiwavelength observations, which cover optical, infrared and X-rays between 40s and 3yr after the burst, to derive the properties of t…

The Binggeli effect

Monika Biernacka, Elena Panko, Wlodzimierz Godlowski +2

We found the alignement of elongated clusters of BM type I and III (the excess of small values of the Δθangles is observed), having range till about 60Mpc/h. The first one is proba…

An unusual stellar death on Christmas Day

C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. L. Fryer +31

Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually as- sociated with supernovae (Woosley et al. 2006). They release ultra-relativistic j…
