A possible high-redshift origin for the short GRB 061201: implications of a compact binary merger beyond cosmic noon
E. Troja, B. O'Connor, Y. -H. Yang +4
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at redshift z>2 remain exceptionally rare, yet they are crucial for tracing compact binary mergers in the early Universe and understanding their role…
High-Energy Shock Breakout from Supernovae and Gamma-ray Bursts
Chris L. Fryer, Eric Burns, Joseph M. Colosimo +2
Cosmic explosions play a critical role in a broad range of astrophysical fields. Although considerable progress has been made to understand the explosive engines and their progenit…
Evidence of Energy Injection in the Short and Distant GRB 250221A in a High Density Environment
Camila Angulo-Valdez, Rosa L. Becerra, Ramandeep Gill +29
We present the photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the short-duration GRB 250221A ( s), using a data set from the optical facilities COLIBRÃ, the Harling…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
AT2025ulz and S250818k: zooming in with the Hubble Space Telescope
Yu-Han Yang, Eleonora Troja, Marko RistiÄ +19
AT2025ulz is an optical/near-infrared transient discovered during follow-up of the candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k. Its young age (1 d), rapid decline an…
A milli-Tidal Disruption Event Model for GRB250702B: Main Sequence Star Disrupted by an IMBH
Jonathan Granot, Hagai B. Perets, Ramandeep Gill +2
GRB250702B is the longest GRB recorded so far, with multiple gamma-ray emission episodes spread over a duration exceeding ks and a weaker soft X-ray pre-peak day…
