The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51
We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
The obscured hyper-energetic GRB 120624B hosted by a luminous compact galaxy at z = 2.20
A. de Ugarte Postigo, S. Campana, C. C. Thoene +11
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions that we can witness in the Universe. Studying the most extreme cases of these phenomena allows us to constrain the limits for the…
SN 2006oz: rise of a super-luminous supernova observed by the SDSS-II SN Survey
G. Leloudas, E. Chatzopoulos, B. Dilday +21
We study SN 2006oz, a newly-recognized member of the class of H-poor, super-luminous supernovae. We present multi-color light curves from the SDSS-II SN Survey, that cover the rise…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the GRB 090926A afterglow
V. D'Elia, J. P. U. Fynbo, S. Covino +21
The aim of this paper is to study the environment and intervening absorbers of the gamma-ray burst GRB 090926A through analysis of optical spectra of its afterglow. We analyze medi…
Discovery of the nearby long, soft GRB 100316D with an associated supernova
R. L. C. Starling, K. Wiersema, A. J. Levan +43
We report the Swift discovery of nearby long, soft gamma-ray burst GRB 100316D, and the subsequent unveiling of its low redshift host galaxy and associated supernova. We derive the…
High energy emission from massive stars: the precocious X-Ray recovery of Eta Carinae after January 2009 minimum
Elena Pian, Sergio Campana, Guido Chincarini +7
We observed the massive binary stellar system of Eta Carinae in the 0.3-10 keV energy range with the X-ray Telescope onboard the Swift satellite during the period 15 December 2008…
