In search of short gamma-ray burst optical counterpart with the Zwicky Transient Facility
Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin +46
The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggers on-board in response to 40 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) per year; however, their large localization regions have made the…
Discovery and confirmation of the shortest gamma ray burst from a collapsar
Tomas Ahumada, Leo P. Singer, Shreya Anand +54
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the brightest and most energetic events in the universe. The duration and hardness distribution of GRBs has two clusters, now understood to reflec…
FRB131104 Swift BAT data revisited: No evidence of a gamma-ray counterpart
T. Sakamoto, E. Troja, A. Lien +4
We present a re-analysis of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) data around the radio detection of FRB 131104. Possible evidence of a gamma-ray counterpart was presented by DeLau…
Two stripped envelope supernovae with circumstellar interaction -- but only one really shows it
J. Sollerman, C. Fransson, C. Barbarino +23
We present SN 2019tsf (ZTF19ackjszs) and SN 2019oys (ZTF19abucwzt). These two stripped envelope Type Ib supernovae suddenly showed a (re-)brightening in their late light curves. We…
GRB 160625B: Evidence for a Gaussian-Shaped Jet
Virginia Cunningham, S. Bradley Cenko, Geoffrey Ryan +9
We present multiwavelength modeling of the afterglow from the long gamma-ray burst GRB 160625B using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques of the afterglowpy Python package. G…
Candidate Electromagnetic Counterpart to the Binary Black Hole Merger Gravitational Wave Event S190521g
M. J. Graham, K. E. S. Ford, B. McKernan +24
We report the first plausible optical electromagnetic (EM) counterpart to a (candidate) binary black hole (BBH) merger. Detected by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), the EM flar…
