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…
Liverpool Telescope follow-up of candidate electromagnetic counterparts during the first run of Advanced LIGO
C. M. Copperwheat, I. A. Steele, A. S. Piascik +17
The first direct detection of gravitational waves was made in late 2015 with the Advanced LIGO detectors. By prior arrangement, a worldwide collaboration of electromagnetic follow-…
Phenomenology of Reverse-Shock Emission in the Optical Afterglows of Gamma Ray Bursts
J. Japelj, D. Kopac, S. Kobayashi +6
We use a parent sample of 118 gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, with known redshift and host galaxy extinction, to separate afterglows with and without signatures of dominant rever…
New constraints on GRB jet geometry and relativistic shock physics
C. Guidorzi, C. G. Mundell, R. Harrison +23
We use high--quality, multi-band observations of Swift GRB120404A, from gamma-ray to radio frequencies, together with the new hydrodynamics code of van Eerten et al. (2012) to test…
Ten per cent polarized optical emission from GRB 090102
I. A. Steele, C. G. Mundell, R. J. Smith +2
The nature of the jets and the role of magnetic fields in gamma-ray bursts (GRB) remains unclear. In a baryon-dominated jet only weak, tangled fields generated in situ through shoc…
Early time optical polarization of GRB Afterglows: GRB 060418 and GRB 090102
I. A. Steele, C. G. Mundell, R. J. Smith +2
RINGO on the Liverpool Telescope has now measured the optical polarization of GRB 060418 (where a 2 sigma upper limit of P<8% was determined) and GRB 090102 (when a detection of P…
