Swift Deep Galactic Plane Survey Classification of Swift J170800402551.8 as a Candidate Intermediate Polar Cataclysmic Variable
B. O'Connor, E. Gogus, J. Hare +24
Here, we present the results of our multi-wavelength campaign aimed at classifying \textit{Swift} J170800402551.8 as part of the \textit{Swift} Deep Galactic Plane Survey (DGPS)…
A re-emerging bright soft-X-ray state of the changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES~1927+654: a multi-wavelength view
Ritesh Ghosh, Sibasish Laha, Eileen Meyer +24
1ES1927+654 is a nearby active galactic nucleus that has shown an enigmatic outburst in optical/UV followed by X-rays, exhibiting strange variability patterns at timescales of mont…
A lanthanide-rich kilonova in the aftermath of a long gamma-ray burst
Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Brendan O'Connor +24
Observationally, Kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, synthesized in the merger of two compact objects. Over the fir…
Heavy element nucleosynthesis associated with a gamma-ray burst
James H. Gillanders, Eleonora Troja, Chris L. Fryer +9
Kilonovae are a novel class of astrophysical transients, and the only observationally-confirmed site of rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis (the r-process) in the Universe. To da…
Integral Field Spectroscopy of 13 Tidal Disruption Event Hosts from the ZTF Survey
Erica Hammerstein, S. Bradley Cenko, Suvi Gezari +6
The host galaxies of tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been shown to possess peculiar properties, including high central light concentrations, unusual star-formation histories, a…
The Swift Deep Galactic Plane Survey (DGPS) Phase-I Catalog
B. O'Connor, C. Kouveliotou, P. A. Evans +30
The \textit{Swift} Deep Galactic Plane Survey is a \textit{Swift} Key Project consisting of 380 tiled pointings covering 40 deg of the Galactic Plane between longitude \,…
Identification of 1RXS J165424.6-433758 as a polar cataclysmic variable
B. O'Connor, J. Brink, D. A. H. Buckley +25
We present the results of our X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical follow-up campaigns of 1RXS J165424.6-433758, an X-ray source detected with the \textit{Swift} Deep Galactic Plane Sur…
Deciphering the unusual stellar progenitor of GRB 210704A
R. L. Becerra, E. Troja, A. M. Watson +16
GRB~210704A is a burst of intermediate duration (~s) followed by a fading afterglow and an optical excess that peaked about 7 days after the explosion. Its propert…
A Sensitive Search for Supernova Emission Associated with the Extremely Energetic and Nearby GRB 221009A
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Brendan O' Connor, S. Bradley Cenko +24
We report observations of the optical counterpart of the long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) GRB 221009A. Due to the extreme rarity of being both nearby () and highly energetic…
A structured jet explains the extreme GRB 221009A
B. O'Connor, E. Troja, G. Ryan +29
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful cosmic explosions, signaling the death of massive stars. Among them, GRB 221009A is by far the brightest burst ever observed. Due…
