GRB 260310A/SN 2026fgk: Photometric and Spectroscopic Evolution of a Nearby GRB-Supernova and an Exceptionally Bright Afterglow at z=0.153
Brendan O'Connor, Malte Busmann, Xander J. Hall +24
The association of broad-lined Type Ic supernovae with long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been known for 28 years. However, only about seventy gamma-ray burst supernovae (GR…
EP260321a/SN 2026gzf: The Faintest Shock Breakout Associated with a Broad-Lined Supernova
Brendan O'Connor, Xander J. Hall, Malte Busmann +33
The explosion of a star is first marked by the shock wave breaking out of the stellar surface, producing a burst of ultraviolet and X-ray radiation. These events are observationall…
An extremely bright slow-rising afterglow from an off-axis jet in GRB 260310A
Yu-Han Yang, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +31
We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A, a nearby long-duration gamma-ray burst at associated with a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. Despite its modest pro…
Minutes-long soft X-ray prompt emission from a compact object merger
An Li, Chen-Wei Wang, Niccolò Passaleva +78
Compact object mergers are multi-messenger sources and known progenitors of some gamma-ray bursts, bright flashes of high-energy radiation powered by a central engine, either an ac…
