A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
Prompt emission and early optical afterglow of VHE detected GRB 201015A and GRB 201216C: onset of the external forward shock
Amit Kumar Ror, Rahul Gupta, Martin Jelínek +19
We present a detailed prompt emission and early optical afterglow analysis of the two very high energy (VHE) detected bursts GRB 201015A and GRB 201216C, and their comparison with…
A Kilonova Following a Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at 350 Mpc
J. C. Rastinejad, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +32
Here, we report the discovery of a kilonova associated with the nearby (350 Mpc) minute-duration GRB 211211A. In tandem with deep optical limits that rule out the presence of an ac…
Cosmological Fast Optical Transients with the Zwicky Transient Facility: A Search for Dirty Fireballs
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Yuhan Yao +33
Dirty fireballs are a hypothesized class of relativistic massive-star explosions with an initial Lorentz factor below the required to pro…
