An extremely bright slow-rising afterglow from an off-axis jet in GRB 260310A
Yu-Han Yang, Roberto Ricci, Eleonora Troja +31
We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 260310A, a nearby long-duration gamma-ray burst at associated with a broad-lined Type Ic supernova. Despite its modest pro…
Identifying the secondary jet in the RadioAstron image of OJ~287
Mauri J. Valtonen, Lankeswar Dey, Staszek Zola +26
The 136 year long optical light curve of OJ~287 is explained by a binary black hole model where the secondary is in a 12 year orbit around the primary. Impacts of the secondary on…
Early steep optical decay linked to reverse shock for GRB200131A
Martin JelÃnek, Filip Novotný, Sylvio Klose +3
We observed an optical afterglow of GRB 200131A obtaining the first photometric point 63 s after the satellite trigger. This early observation shows a steep decay, suggesting eithe…
Evidence of jet activity from the secondary black hole in the OJ287 binary system
Mauri J. Valtonen, Staszek Zola, Alok C. Gupta +29
We report the study of a huge optical intraday flare on November 12, 2021, at 2 am UT, in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model it is associated with an impact of the se…
