Old and Bright: The Remarkable Radio Brightening of the Engine-driven SN 2012au Several Years After Explosion Signals the Birth of a PWN
Eli Wiston, Raffaella Margutti, A. J. Nayana +23
We present the results from an extensive broad-band (radio to X-rays) observing campaign of the engine-driven Type Ib SN 2012au in the first 13 years of evolution. The early-time (…
Late-time JWST/NIRCam Observations of the Extremely Long-duration GRB 250702B/EP 250702a and Its Host Galaxy
Huei Sears, Jean J. Somalwar, Ryan Chornock +22
We present JWST/NIRCam observations of the extremely long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250702B taken at ~ 95 days post-GRB (observer frame). The observations of the host galaxy r…
Failed jet breakout in the metal-poor broad-lined type Ic supernova 2026gzf
Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Christina C. Thöne, James K. Leung +103
A long-standing question in the death of massive stars is the role of relativistic jets. While many gamma-ray bursts and some fast X-ray transients seem to be associated with broad…
SN 2007it on the RISE -- a radio detection of an interacting supernova 18 years post-explosion
F. Acero, R. Z. E. Alsaberi, M. Arias +17
We report the first detection of radio emission from the Type II supernova SN 2007it, located at a distance of 12.2 Mpc in NGC 5530. The observations were obtained with the Austral…
Multi-epoch afterglow rebrightenings in GRB 250129A: Evidence for successive shock interactions
D. Akl, S. Antier, H. Koehn +105
Most long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit afterglows broadly consistent with external forward-shock emission, typically described by smooth broken power-law decays in the multiband…
GOTO identification and broadband modelling of the counterpart to the SVOM GRB 250818B
S. Belkin, G. P. Lamb, K. Ackley +61
Rapid localisation and follow-up of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) increasingly rely on low-latency triggers from new missions coupled to wide-field robotic optical facilities. We present…
The most distant optically polarised GRB afterglow: GRB 240419A at z = 5.178
R. Brivio, S. Covino, M. Ferro +31
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are extremely bright phenomena powered by relativistic jets arising from explosive events at cosmological distances. The nature of the jet and the configura…
No Sign of a Magnetar Remnant Following the Kilonova-Producing Long GRB 211211A Years Later
Genevieve Schroeder, Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger +9
In addition to a -ray burst (GRB), the merger of two neutron stars may produce a temporarily or indefinitely stable neutron star remnant with a strong magnetic field (a "magneta…
JWST Spectroscopy of GRB 250702B: An Extremely Rare and Exceptionally Energetic Burst in a Dusty, Massive Galaxy at
Benjamin P. Gompertz, Andrew J. Levan, Tanmoy Laskar +25
We present follow-up observations of the day-long, repeating GRB 250702B with the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Through the i…
Can GRB 250702B be explained as the tidal disruption of a white dwarf by an intermediate mass black hole? Yes
Rob AJ Eyles-Ferris, Andrew King, Rhaana LC Starling +11
GRB 250702B is a unique astrophysical transient characterised by its nature as a repeating gamma-ray trigger. Its properties include possible periodicity in its gamma-ray light cur…
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…
SVOM GRB 250314A at z 7.3: an exploding star in the era of reionization
B. Cordier, J. Y. Wei, N. R. Tanvir +103
Most long Gamma-ray bursts originate from a rare type of massive stellar explosion. Their afterglows, while rapidly fading, can be initially extremely luminous at optical/near-infr…
The day-long, repeating GRB 250702BDE / EP250702a: A unique extragalactic transient
Andrew J. Levan, Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Tanmoy Laskar +42
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are singular outbursts of high-energy radiation with durations typically lasting from milliseconds to minutes and, in extreme cases, a few hours. They are a…
Continued Rapid Radio Brightening of the Tidal Disruption Event AT2018hyz
Yvette Cendes, Edo Berger, Paz Beniamini +15
