The (missing) gamma-ray counterparts to EP events

Maria Edvige Ravasio, Ansh Chopra, Peter G. Jonker +23

While the connection of Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) detected by Einstein Probe (EP) with Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) is increasingly compelling, most lack gamma-ray counterparts, leav…

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…

Gamma-ray burst progenitors revisited

Andrew J. Levan, Jillian C. Rastinejad, Helena-Margaret S. Grabham +11

Recently, several long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with kilonovae have cast doubt on the traditional, dichotomous mapping between gamma-ray duration and progenitor…

Compact Objects Merging with Stars as an Origin of Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients

V. Ashley Villar, Anya E. Nugent, Eric Burns +4

Ultra-long gamma-ray bursts (ULGRBs) and luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) are two rare classes of engine-driven transients whose physical connection remains unknown.…

Can COSI detect -ray lines from rare isotopes produced in the astrophysical intermediate neutron-capture process?

Falk Herwig, Pavel Denissenkov, Eric Burns

We investigate the nuclear -ray line emission from rare isotopes produced in the astrophysical intermediate neutron-capture process ( process) and assess the prospects of obs…

Label Propagation for Identifying Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitors from Prompt Emission

Skye Strain, Nicoló Cibrario, Michela Negro +1

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic bursts of light in our universe, and rapid progenitor association of these events can lead to targeted and optimized follow-up observ…

The Environments of Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients: Evidence for a Compact Object and Wolf-Rayet Star Merger Origin

Anya E. Nugent, V. Ashley Villar, Brian D. Metzger +5

We present a comprehensive analysis of the host galaxies of 11 luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs). We model new and archival host photometry and spectroscopy with Prosp…

High-Energy Shock Breakout from Supernovae and Gamma-ray Bursts

Chris L. Fryer, Eric Burns, Joseph M. Colosimo +2

Cosmic explosions play a critical role in a broad range of astrophysical fields. Although considerable progress has been made to understand the explosive engines and their progenit…
