Magnetar counterparts, kinematics and birth sites with HST and JWST
A. A. Chrimes, J. D. Lyman, A. J. Levan +7
Magnetars are highly magnetised, isolated neutron stars with uncertain formation channels. They comprise a potentially significant fraction of the young neutron star population in…
XRF 241001A/SN 2024aiiq: A faint soft X-ray transient detected by SVOM with a broad-line type Ic supernova revealed by JWST
B. Schneider, M. Brunet, B. P. Gompertz +61
X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a type of gamma-ray burst (GRB) with prompt emission predominantly below 30 keV and have been poorly detected by previous missions. The advent of the SVOM…
An Afterglow Study of the "New Year's Burst" GRB 220101A
Agniva Roychowdhury, Tuomas Kangas, Andrew Fruchter +12
We present a detailed broadband afterglow study of GRB 220101A ( s) combining multi-wavelength data from soft X-rays until 6 GHz. The afterglow light c…
GRB 180728A and SN 2018fip: the nearest high-energy cosmological gamma-ray burst with an associated supernova
A. Rossi, L. Izzo, K. Maeda +29
The long GRB 180728A, at a redshift of , stands out due to its high isotropic energy of erg, in contrast with most events at redshi…
Discovery and Analysis of Afterglows from Poorly Localised GRBs with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) All-sky Survey
Amit Kumar, B. P. Gompertz, B. Schneider +86
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation…
EP250207b is not a collapsar fast X-ray transient. Is it due to a compact object merger?
P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan, Xing Liu +41
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are short-lived extra-galactic X-ray sources. Recent progress through multi-wavelength follow-up of Einstein Probe discovered FXTs has shown that sever…
