The Deep and Transient Universe in the SVOM Era: New Challenges and Opportunities - Scientific prospects of the SVOM mission
J. Wei, B. Cordier, S. Antier +77
To take advantage of the astrophysical potential of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Chinese and French astrophysicists have engaged the SVOM mission (Space-based multi-band astronomical V…
Taking stock of SLSN and LGRB host galaxy comparison using a complete sample of LGRBs
J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra +2
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are both explosive transients with very massive progenitor stars. Clues about the nature of the progenitors can b…
Short GRBs at the dawn of the gravitational wave era
G. Ghirlanda, O. S. Salafia, A. Pescalli +16
We derive the luminosity function and redshift distribution of short Gamma Ray Bursts (SGRBs) using (i) all the available observer-frame constraints (i.e. peak flux, fluence, peak…
Searching for narrow absorption and emission lines in XMM-Newton spectra of gamma-ray bursts
S. Campana, V. Braito, P. D'Avanzo +7
We present the results of a spectroscopic search for narrow emission and absorption features in the X-ray spectra of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Using XMM-Newton data, b…
Are LGRBs biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of bright LGRBs. II: star formation rates and metallicities at z < 1
J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra +21
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the deaths of massive stars and could thus be a potentially powerful tool to trace cosmic star formation. However, especially at l…
The 999th Swift gamma-ray burst: Some like it thermal
F. Nappo, A. Pescalli, G. Oganesyan +23
We present a multiwavelength study of GRB 151027A. This is the 999th GRB detected by the Swift satellite and it has a densely sampled emission in the X-ray and optical band and has…
