F. Daigne, D. Turpin, J. -L. Atteia +34
Following its launch on 22 June 2024, the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) successfully completed its flight acceptance, commissioning, and scien…
Gamma-ray Bursts and Kilonovae from Gravitational Wave Events
Alberto Colombo, Marcello Giroletti, Susanna D. Vergani +1
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black holes in 2015 and the joint GW-electromagnetic (EM) observation of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 set a milest…
Failed jet breakout in the metal-poor broad-lined type Ic supernova 2026gzf
Antonio Martin-Carrillo, Christina C. Thöne, James K. Leung +103
A long-standing question in the death of massive stars is the role of relativistic jets. While many gamma-ray bursts and some fast X-ray transients seem to be associated with broad…
