Polarized kilonovae from black hole-neutron star mergers
M. Bulla, K. Kyutoku, M. Tanaka +6
We predict linear polarization for a radioactively-powered kilonova following the merger of a black hole and a neutron star. Specifically, we perform 3-D Monte Carlo radiative tran…

The luminous host galaxy, faint supernova and rapid afterglow rebrightening of GRB 100418A
A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thoene, K. Bensch +35
Long gamma-ray bursts give us the chance to study both their extreme physics and the star-forming galaxies in which they form. GRB 100418A, at a z = 0.6239, had a bright optical an…

VLT/X-shooter GRBs: Individual extinction curves of star-forming regions
T. Zafar, D. Watson, P. Møller +14
The extinction profiles in Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are usually described by the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)-type extinction curve. In…
