JWST reveals a supernova following a gamma-ray burst at z 7.3

A. J. Levan, B. Schneider, E. Le Floc'h +50

The majority of energetic long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to arise from the collapse of massive stars, making them powerful tracers of star formation across cosmi…

Constraints on Short Gamma-Ray Burst Physics and Their Host Galaxies from Systematic Radio Follow-up Campaigns

S. I. Chastain, A. J. van der Horst, G. E. Anderson +12

Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are explosive transients caused by binary mergers of compact objects containing at least one neutron star. Multi-wavelength afterglow observations pro…

A search for the afterglows, kilonovae, and host galaxies of two short GRBs: GRB 211106A and GRB 211227A

M. Ferro, R. Brivio, P. D'Avanzo +30

Context: GRB 211106A and GRB 211227A are recent gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with initial X-ray positions suggesting associations with nearby galaxies (z < 0.7). Their prompt emission c…

The optical afterglow of the short gamma-ray burst associated with GW170817

J. D. Lyman, G. P. Lamb, A. J. Levan +33

The binary neutron star merger GW170817 was the first multi-messenger event observed in both gravitational and electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic signal began approximately…

The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars

N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51

We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
