The intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in subsamples of GRB X-ray afterglows
S. P. R. Shilling, S. R. Oates, J. L. Racusin +6
The intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, between the early-time luminosity and the average rate of decay past this time, has previously been…
Early Optical Follow-up of Gamma-Ray Bursts: The Critical Role of Robotic Telescopes
Rahul Gupta, Judith Racusin, Gor Oganesyan +26
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous electromagnetic explosions in the Universe, and offer unique laboratories for studying relativistic jets, compact-object formation, pa…
Extremely luminous optical afterglow of an energetic gamma-ray burst GRB 230204B
Rahul Gupta, Judith Racusin, Vladimir Lipunov +47
Robotic telescope networks play an important role in capturing early and bright optical afterglows, providing critical insights into the energetics and emission mechanisms of GRBs.…
Evidence for an intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in GRB radio afterglows
S. P. R. Shilling, S. R. Oates, D. A. Kann +12
We present the discovery of a correlation, in a sample of 16 gamma-ray burst 8.5 GHz radio afterglows, between the intrinsic luminosity measured at 10 days in the rest frame, $L_{\…
Deciphering the Physical Origin of GRB 240825A: A Long GRB Lacking a Bright Supernova
Rahul Gupta, Judith L. Racusin, R. Sanchez-Ramirez +52
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of GRB 240825A, a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by Fermi and Swift, with a prompt duration ( ~ 4 sec in 50-3…
The La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Adam A. Miller, Natasha S. Abrams, Greg Aldering +75
We present the La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey (LS4), a new wide-field, time-domain survey to be conducted with the 1 m ESO Schmidt telescope. The 268 megapixel LS4 camera mosaics…
