X-ray Through Radio Observations and Modeling of the Soft X-ray Flash GRB 250419A

Genevieve Schroeder, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Gavin P. Lamb +24

Soft X-ray flashes (XRFs) are predicted from a variety of hypothesized phenomena, including "dirty fireballs" (relativistic jets with significant baryon loading), and gamma-ray bur…

GRB 220706A: a gamma-ray burst with a month-long engine and a luminous supernova

Benjamin P. Gompertz, Nusrin Habeeb, Dheeraj R. Pasham +30

While the progenitors of many long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are well established as the core collapse of very massive, envelope-stripped, rapidly-rotating stars, it has been suggest…

A Multi-Wavelength View of the First Type Ic-BL Supernova with an Einstein Probe X-ray Shock Breakout

Jillian C. Rastinejad, Gokul Srinivasaragavan, Nikhil Sarin +36

In March 2026, the Einstein Probe (EP) discovered its most nearby (z = 0.0343) Fast X-ray Transient (FXT), EP260321a, the first EP FXT to provide a strong match to expectations for…

AT2024lhc and AT2024kmq in the landscape of featureless tidal disruption events

Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Andrew Mummery +39

We study AT2024kmq and AT2024lhc, two tidal disruption events (TDEs) with blue featureless spectra associated with high-mass black holes (). Both even…

GOTO identification and broadband modelling of the counterpart to the SVOM GRB 250818B

S. Belkin, G. P. Lamb, K. Ackley +61

Rapid localisation and follow-up of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) increasingly rely on low-latency triggers from new missions coupled to wide-field robotic optical facilities. We present…

Searching for Neutron Star Mergers in the Absence of Gravitational Waves with Optical Afterglow Emission

Haille M. L. Perkins, Gautham Narayan, Brian D. Fields +2

With the forth observing run of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA gravitational-wave network, which enabled the discovery of the kilonova (KN) counterpart to GW170817, ending with no new confir…
