THESEUS: a key space mission concept for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics

G. Stratta, R. Ciolfi, L. Amati +55

The recent discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational wave source GW170817, has demonstrated the huge informative power of multi-messenger observations. Duri…

The unpolarized macronova associated with the gravitational wave event GW170817

S. Covino, K. Wiersema, Y. Z. Fan +37

The merger of two dense stellar remnants including at least one neutron star (NS) is predicted to produce gravitational waves (GWs) and short duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs). In t…

The X-ray counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW 170817

E. Troja, L. Piro, H. van Eerten +31

A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions- or mergers- of two neutron stars (NSs) form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) powering gamma-ray burst…

Colour variations in the GRB 120327A afterglow

A. Melandri, S. Covino, E. Zaninoni +42

We present a comprehensive temporal and spectral analysis of the long Swift GRB 120327A afterglow data to investigate the possible causes of the observed early time colour variatio…

A long optical plateau in the afterglow of the Extended Emission short GRB 150424A: Evidence for energy injection by a magnetar?

F. Knust, J. Greiner, H. J. van Eerten +14

Short-duration GRBs with extended emission form a subclass of short GRBs, comprising about 15% of the short-duration sample. Afterglow detections of short GRBs are also rare (about…

Polarimetry and Photometry of Gamma-Ray Bursts with RINGO2

I. A. Steele, D. Kopac, D. M. Arnold +8

We present a catalog of early-time (~10^2-10^4s) photometry and polarimetry of all Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) optical afterglows observed with RINGO2 imaging polarimeter on the Liverpoo…

A Reverse Shock and Unusual Radio Properties in GRB 160625B

K. D. Alexander, T. Laskar, E. Berger +9

We present multi-wavelength observations and modeling of the exceptionally bright long -ray burst GRB 160625B. The optical and X-ray data are well-fit by synchrotron emission fr…

Prospects for CTA observations of the young SNR RX J1713.7-3946

The CTA Consortium, :, F. Acero +381

We perform simulations for future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observations of RX~J1713.73946, a young supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brightest sources ever discovere…
