The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-ray Bursts from Late-time X-ray Afterglows
Alicia Rouco Escorial, Wen-fai Fong, Edo Berger +14
We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed days post-burst using and . We provide the inferred distributi…
Radio monitoring of transient Be/X-ray binaries and the inflow-outflow coupling of strongly-magnetized accreting neutron stars
J. van den Eijnden, N. Degenaar, T. D. Russell +5
Strongly-magnetized ( G) accreting neutron stars (NSs) are prime targets for studying the launching of jets by objects with a solid surface; while classical jet-launc…
Short GRB Host Galaxies I: Photometric and Spectroscopic Catalogs, Host Associations, and Galactocentric Offsets
Wen-fai Fong, Anya E. Nugent, Yuxin Dong +25
We present a comprehensive optical and near-infrared census of the fields of 90 short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) discovered in 2005-2021, constituting all short GRBs for which host ga…
Short GRB Host Galaxies. II. A Legacy Sample of Redshifts, Stellar Population Properties, and Implications for their Neutron Star Merger Origins
Anya E. Nugent, Wen-fai Fong, Yuxin Dong +14
We present the stellar population properties of 69 short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies, representing the largest uniformly-modeled sample to-date. Using the Prospector stella…
A Radio-selected Population of Dark, Long Gamma-ray Bursts: Comparison to the Long Gamma-ray Burst Population and Implications for Host Dust Distributions
Genevieve Schroeder, Tanmoy Laskar, Wen-fai Fong +17
We present cm-band and mm-band afterglow observations of five long-duration -ray bursts (GRBs; GRB 130131A, 130420B, 130609A, 131229A, 140713A) with dust-obscured optical afterg…
The First Short GRB Millimeter Afterglow: The Wide-Angled Jet of the Extremely Energetic SGRB 211106A
Tanmoy Laskar, Alicia Rouco Escorial, Genevieve Schroeder +14
We present the discovery of the first millimeter afterglow of a short-duration -ray burst (SGRB) and the first confirmed afterglow of an SGRB localized by the GUANO system on Sw…
A Kilonova Following a Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at 350 Mpc
J. C. Rastinejad, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +32
Here, we report the discovery of a kilonova associated with the nearby (350 Mpc) minute-duration GRB 211211A. In tandem with deep optical limits that rule out the presence of an ac…
