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…

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…
