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…
GRB 240825A: Early Reverse Shock and Its Physical Implications
Chao Wu, Yun Wang, Hua-Li Li +84
Early multiwavelength observations offer crucial insights into the nature of the relativistic jets responsible for gamma-ray bursts and their interaction with the surrounding mediu…
A 50 s quasi-periodic oscillation in the early X-ray afterglow of GRB 220711B
H. Gao, W. -H. Lei, S. Xiao +19
It is generally believed that long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the core collapse of rapidly spinning massive stars and at least some of them are powered by hype…
EP241021a: a months-duration X-ray transient with luminous optical and radio emission
Shu Xinwen, Yang Lei, Yang Haonan +82
We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient wa…
EP240801a/XRF 240801B: An X-ray Flash Detected by the Einstein Probe and Implications of its Multiband Afterglow
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Agnes P. C. van Hoof +89
We present multiband observations and analysis of EP240801a, a low-energy, extremely soft gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered on August 1, 2024 by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, w…
GRB 241030A: a prompt thermal X-ray emission component and diverse origin of the very early UVOT WHITE and U band emission
Qiu-Li Wang, Hao Zhou, Yun Wang +17
We present a detailed analysis of the long-duration GRB 241030A detected by {\it Swift}. Thanks to the rapid response of XRT and UVOT, the strongest part of the prompt emission of…
