Revealing an unexpectedly low electron injection threshold via reinforced shock acceleration
Savvas Raptis, Ahmad Lalti, Martin Lindberg +3
Collisionless shock waves, found in supernova remnants, interstellar, stellar, and planetary environments, and laboratories, are one of nature's most powerful particle accelerators…
Optical darkness in short-duration -ray bursts
Caden Gobat, Alexander J. van der Horst, David Fitzpatrick
Gamma-ray bursts categorically produce broadband afterglow emission, but in some cases, emission in the optical band is dimmer than expected based on the contemporaneously observed…

The Role of Inhomogeneities in Supernova Shock Breakout Emission
Chris L. Fryer, Christopher J. Fontes, James S. Warsa +3
The breakout of a supernova blast wave from its progenitor star provides strong constraints on the star and its immediate surroundings. These surroundings are shaped by mass loss f…
The Critical Role of Collisionless Plasma Energization on the Structure of Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Hsin Liu, Shan-Chang Lin, Michael Hesse +4
During magnetically dominated relativistic reconnection, inflowing plasma depletes the initial relativistic pressure at the x-line and collisionless plasma heating inside the diffu…
A study of gamma-ray burst afterglows as they first come into view of the Swift Ultraviolet and Optical Telescope
M. J. Page, S. R. Oates, M. De Pasquale +6
We examine the the emission from optically bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows as the Ultraviolet and Optical Telescope (UVOT) on the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory first begin…
Strongly magnetized accretion disks: structure and accretion from global magnetohydrodynamic simulations
Bhupendra Mishra, Mitchell C. Begelman, Philip J. Armitage +1
We use global magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the influence of net vertical magnetic fields on the structure of geometrically thin () accretion disks in…
A Large Catalog of Homogeneous Ultra-Violet/Optical GRB Afterglows: Temporal and Spectral Evolution
Peter W. A. Roming, T. Scott Koch, Samantha R. Oates +10
We present the second Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow catalog, greatly expanding on the first Swift UVOT GRB afterglow catalog. The seco…
High Energy Polarimetry of Prompt GRB Emission
Mark L. McConnell
Evidence of polarized -ray emission ( 50 keV) from Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) has been accumulated in recent years. Measurements have been reported with levels in the range of 3…
The Supernovae Analysis Application (SNAP)
Amanda J. Bayless, Chris L. Fryer, Brandon Wiggins +11
The SuperNovae Analysis aPplication (SNAP) is a new tool for the analysis of SN observations and validation of SN models. SNAP consists of an open source relational database with (…
SN 2015bh: NGC 2770's 4th supernova or a luminous blue variable on its way to a Wolf-Rayet star?
C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, G. Leloudas +13
Very massive stars in the final phases of their lives often show unpredictable outbursts that can mimic supernovae, so-called, "SN impostors", but the distinction is not always str…
Comparative Analysis of SN 2012dn Optical Spectra: Days -14 to +114
J. T. Parrent, D. A. Howell, R. A. Fesen +19
SN 2012dn is a super-Chandrasekhar mass candidate in a purportedly normal spiral (SAcd) galaxy, and poses a challenge for theories of type Ia supernova diversity. Here we utilize t…
Strongly magnetized accretion discs require poloidal flux
Greg Salvesen, Philip J. Armitage, Jacob B. Simon +1
Motivated by indirect observational evidence for strongly magnetized accretion discs around black holes, and the novel theoretical properties of such solutions, we investigate how…
Accretion disc dynamo activity in local simulations spanning weak-to-strong net vertical magnetic flux regimes
Greg Salvesen, Jacob B. Simon, Philip J. Armitage +1
Strongly magnetized accretion discs around black holes have attractive features that may explain enigmatic aspects of X-ray binary behaviour. The structure and evolution of these d…
The First Ten Years of Swift Supernovae
Peter J. Brown, Peter W. A. Roming, Peter A. Milne
