Simultaneous optical/gamma-ray observations of GRB 121217's prompt emission
J. Elliott, H. -F. Yu, S. Schmidl +20
Since the advent of the Swift satellite it has been possible to obtain precise localisations of GRB positions of sub-arcsec accuracy within seconds, facilitating ground-based robot…
The Cosmic Evolution of Fermi BL Lacertae Objects
M. Ajello, R. W. Romani, D. Gasparrini +14
Fermi has provided the largest sample of gamma-ray selected blazars to date. In this work we use a uniformly selected set of 211 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects detected by it Fermi d…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: The Wide Field Imager (WFI) for Athena+
A. Rau, N. Meidinger, K. Nandra +20
The Wide Field Imager (WFI) is one of the two scientific instruments proposed for the Athena+ X-ray observatory. It will provide imaging in the 0.1-15 keV band over a wide field, s…
The low-extinction afterglow in the solar-metallicity host galaxy of GRB 110918A
J. Elliott, T. Krühler, J. Greiner +21
Galaxies selected through long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) could be of fundamental importance when mapping the star formation history out to the highest redshifts. Before using them as…
Discovery and redshift of an optical afterglow in 71 square degrees: iPTF13bxl and GRB 130702A
Leo P. Singer, S. Bradley Cenko, Mansi M. Kasliwal +20
We report the discovery of the optical afterglow of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130702A, identified upon searching 71 square degrees surrounding the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GB…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: Luminous extragalactic transients
Peter Jonker, Paul O'Brien, Lorenzo Amati +11
We discuss the importance and potential contribution of Athena+ to the science questions related to gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events and supernova shock break-out. Athena+…
