Exploring the Relationship Between Swift Short Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows and their Host Galaxy Properties
Cristian Castrejon, Anya E. Nugent, Wen-fai Fong +3
We present a comprehensive compilation of short-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows in the X-ray, optical, and radio bands, comprising 150 events discovered primarily by the…
White dwarf-neutron star binaries: a plausible pathway for long-duration gamma-ray bursts from compact object mergers?
A. A. Chrimes, N. Gaspari, A. J. Levan +7
Two long-duration gamma-ray bursts were recently discovered with kilonovae, the signature of r-process element production in a compact binary merger, rather than supernovae. This h…
A fast radio burst from the first 3 billion years of the Universe
Manisha Caleb, Themiya Nanayakkara, Benjamin Stappers +25
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are enigmatic millisecond-duration signals which encode otherwise unattainable information on the plasma which permeates our Universe, providing insights i…
Binary neutron star merger offsets from their host galaxies II. Short-duration gamma-ray bursts
N. Gaspari, A. J. Levan, A. A. Chrimes +1
The mergers of binary neutron stars (BNSs) and neutron star-black holes (NSBHs) binaries have long been linked to short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). However, despite their st…
Evidence for a hot galactic halo around the Andromeda Galaxy using fast radio bursts along two sightlines
Reshma Anna-Thomas, Casey J. Law, Eric W. Koch +17
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio transients that serve as unique probes of ionized extragalactic matter. We report the discovery and localization of two FRBs…
Evidence for an Instability-Induced Binary Merger in the Double-Peaked, Helium-Rich Type IIn Supernova 2023zkd
A. Gagliano, V. A. Villar, T. Matsumoto +42
We present ultraviolet to infrared observations of the extraordinary Type IIn supernova 2023zkd (SN 2023zkd). Photometrically, it exhibits persistent and luminous precursor emissio…
