An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z0.3 with the Kilonova and Transients Program (KNTraP)

Natasha Van Bemmel, Jielai Zhang, Jeff Cooke +15

Compact binary mergers detectable in gravitational waves can be accompanied by a kilonova, an electromagnetic transient powered by radioactive decay of newly synthesised r-process…

GRB220831A: a hostless, intermediate Gamma-ray burst with an unusual optical afterglow

James Freeburn, Brendan O'Connor, Jeff Cooke +20

GRB220831A is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with a duration and spectral peak energy that places it at the interface between the distribution of long-soft and short-hard GRBs. In thi…

Characterization of a peculiar Einstein Probe transient EP240408a: an exotic gamma-ray burst or an abnormal jetted tidal disruption event?

B. O'Connor, D. Pasham, I. Andreoni +30

We present the results of our multi-wavelength (X-ray to radio) follow-up campaign of the Einstein Probe transient EP240408a. The initial 10 s trigger displayed bright soft X-ray (…

A Fast-cadenced Search for Gamma-Ray Burst Orphan Afterglows with the Deeper, Wider, Faster Programme

James Freeburn, Jeff Cooke, Anais Möller +11

The relativistic outflows that produce Long GRBs (LGRBs) can be described by a structured jet model where prompt -ray emission is restricted to a narrow region in the jet's core…

A two-minute burst of highly polarised radio emission originating from low Galactic latitude

Dougal Dobie, Andrew Zic, Lucy S. Oswald +19

Several sources of repeating coherent bursts of radio emission with periods of many minutes have now been reported in the literature. These "ultra-long period" (ULP) sources have n…
