Prospects for GRB Afterglow Discovery with the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Observatory System
James Freeburn, Dougal Dobie, Akash Anumarlapudi +9
Two time domain surveys, recently funded as part of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Observatory System; the Argus Array, in the optical, and the Deep Synoptic Array (DSA), in the radio,…
From Rare Events to a Population: Discovering Overlooked Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flare Candidates in Archival Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Data
Aaron C. Trigg, Eric Burns, Michela Negro +16
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are rare, extremely bright bursts of gamma-rays from highly magnetized neutron stars. These events are challenging to identify because, at extragalacti…
GRB 250702B: Discovery of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Black Hole Falling into a Star
Eliza Neights, Eric Burns, Chris L. Fryer +52
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe. Their prompt gamma-ray emission has typical durations between a fraction of a second and several minu…
Fermi-GBM Team Analysis on The Ravasio Line
Eric Burns, Stephen Lesage, Adam Goldstein +20
The prompt spectra of gamma-ray bursts are known to follow broadband continuum behavior over decades in energy. GRB 221009A, given the moniker the brightest of all time (BOAT), is…
Prompt GRB recognition through waterfalls and deep learning
Michela Negro, Nicoló Cibrario, Eric Burns +3
Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are one of the most energetic phenomena in the cosmos, whose study probes physics extremes beyond the reach of laboratories on Earth. Our quest to unravel t…
The Luminous, Slow-Rising Orphan Afterglow AT2019pim as a Candidate Moderately Relativistic Outflow
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Michael Fausnaugh +34
Classical gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have two distinct emission episodes: prompt emission from ultrarelativistic ejecta and afterglow from shocked circumstellar material. While both c…
GRB 180128A: A Second Magnetar Giant Flare Candidate from the Sculptor Galaxy
Aaron C. Trigg, Eric Burns, Oliver J. Roberts +14
Magnetars are slowly rotating neutron stars that possess the strongest magnetic fields () known in the cosmos. They display a range of transient high-en…
Fermi and Swift Observations of GRB 190114C: Tracing the Evolution of High-Energy Emission from Prompt to Afterglow
M. Ajello, M. Arimoto, M. Axelsson +147
We report on the observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 190114C by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. The early-time observations reveal mul…
Fermi observations of the LIGO event GW170104
Melissa Pesce-Rollins, Nicola Omodei, Dan Kocevski +3
We present the \emph{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the LIGO binary black hole merger (BBH) event GW170104. No candidate electr…
Gravitational wave observations may constrain gamma-ray burst models: the case of GW 150914 - GBM
P. Veres, R. D. Preece, A. Goldstein +3
The possible short gamma-ray burst (GRB) observed by {\it Fermi}/GBM in coincidence with the first gravitational wave (GW) detection, offers new ways to test GRB prompt emission mo…
