The early afterglow of GRB 190829A

S. Dichiara, E. Troja, V. Lipunov +19

GRB 190829A at z=0.0785 is the fourth closest long GRB ever detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory, and the third confirmed case with a very high energy component. We prese…

Identification of an X-ray Pulsar in the BeXRB system IGR J182191347

B. O'Connor, E. Gogus, D. Huppenkothen +25

We report on observations of the candidate Be/X-ray binary IGR J182191347 with \textit{Swift}/XRT, \textit{NuSTAR}, and \textit{NICER} during Type-I outbursts in March and June…

Constraints on the electromagnetic counterpart of the Neutron Star Black Hole merger GW200115

S. Dichiara, R. L. Becerra, E. A. Chase +10

We report the results of our follow-up campaign for the neutron star - black hole (NSBH) merger GW200115 detected during the O3 run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detector…

A month of monitoring the new magnetar Swift J1555.2-5402 during an X-ray outburst

Teruaki Enoto, Mason Ng, Chin-ping Hu +23

The soft gamma-ray repeater Swift J1555.2-5402 was discovered by means of a 12-ms duration short burst detected with Swift BAT on 2021 June 3. Then 1.6 hours after the first burst…

The Fast Radio Burst FRB 20201124A in a star forming region: constraints to the progenitor and multiwavelength counterparts

L. Piro, G. Bruni, E. Troja +16

We present the results of a multiwavelength campaign of FRB 20201124A, the third closest repeating fast radio burst recently localized in a nearby (z=0.0978) galaxy. Deep VLA obser…

Kilonova Detectability with Wide-Field Instruments

Eve A. Chase, Brendan O'Connor, Christopher L. Fryer +7

Kilonovae are ultraviolet, optical, and infrared transients powered by the radioactive decay of heavy elements following a neutron star merger. Joint observations of kilonovae and…

Late-time radio observations of the short GRB200522A: constraints on the magnetar model

G. Bruni, B. O'Connor, T. Matsumoto +4

GRB200522A is a short duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) at redshift =0.554 characterized by a bright infrared counterpart. A possible, although not unambiguous, interpretation of t…

Accurate flux calibration of GW170817: is the X-ray counterpart on the rise?

E. Troja, B. O'Connor, G. Ryan +7

X-ray emission from the gravitational wave transient GW170817 is well described as non-thermal afterglow radiation produced by a structured relativistic jet viewed off-axis. We sho…

Probing the reach of the Intermediate Polar Cataclysmic Variable Population with Swift J183920.1-045350

Nicholas M. Gorgone, Patrick A. Woudt, David Buckley +18

We report on the Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey discovery and multi-wavelength follow-up observations of a new intermediate polar Cataclysmic Variable, Swift J183920.1-045350…

Evidence of extended emission in GRB 181123B and other high-redshift short GRBs

S. Dichiara, E. Troja, P. Beniamini +7

We study the high-energy properties of GRB 181123B, a short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) at redshift 1.75. We show that, despite its nominal short duration with 2 s, t…

A tale of two mergers: constraints on kilonova detection in two short GRBs at z0.5

B. O'Connor, E. Troja, S. Dichiara +15

We present a detailed multi-wavelength analysis of two short Gamma-Ray Bursts (sGRBs) detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory: GRB 160624A at and GRB 200522A at $z…
