The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-ray Bursts from Late-time X-ray Afterglows
Alicia Rouco Escorial, Wen-fai Fong, Edo Berger +14
We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed days post-burst using and . We provide the inferred distributi…
Short GRB Host Galaxies I: Photometric and Spectroscopic Catalogs, Host Associations, and Galactocentric Offsets
Wen-fai Fong, Anya E. Nugent, Yuxin Dong +25
We present a comprehensive optical and near-infrared census of the fields of 90 short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) discovered in 2005-2021, constituting all short GRBs for which host ga…
VLBI observations of GRB 201015A, a relatively faint GRB with a hint of Very High Energy gamma-ray emission
S. Giarratana, L. Rhodes, B. Marcote +14
GRB 201015A is a long-duration Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) which was detected at very high energies (> 100 GeV) using the MAGIC telescopes. If confirmed, this would be the fifth and leas…
The case for a minute-long merger-driven gamma-ray burst from fast-cooling synchrotron emission
B. P. Gompertz, M. E. Ravasio, M. Nicholl +12
For decades, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been broadly divided into `long'- and `short'-duration bursts, lasting more or less than 2s, respectively. However, this dichotomy does no…
The First Short GRB Millimeter Afterglow: The Wide-Angled Jet of the Extremely Energetic SGRB 211106A
Tanmoy Laskar, Alicia Rouco Escorial, Genevieve Schroeder +14
We present the discovery of the first millimeter afterglow of a short-duration -ray burst (SGRB) and the first confirmed afterglow of an SGRB localized by the GUANO system on Sw…
A Kilonova Following a Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at 350 Mpc
J. C. Rastinejad, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +32
Here, we report the discovery of a kilonova associated with the nearby (350 Mpc) minute-duration GRB 211211A. In tandem with deep optical limits that rule out the presence of an ac…
A Systematic Exploration of Kilonova Candidates from Neutron Star Mergers During the Third Gravitational Wave Observing Run
J. Rastinejad, K. Paterson, W. Fong +9
We present a comprehensive analysis of 653 optical candidate counterparts reported during the third gravitational wave (GW) observing run. Our sample concentrates on candidates fro…
