The intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in subsamples of GRB X-ray afterglows
S. P. R. Shilling, S. R. Oates, J. L. Racusin +6
The intrinsic luminosity-decay correlation in gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, between the early-time luminosity and the average rate of decay past this time, has previously been…
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…
First Results from the LSST Shadow Survey: The Restless Luminous Blue Variable AT2017des in the Virgo-Cluster Galaxy, NGC4532
Conor L. Ransome, Bhagya M. Subrayan, David J. Sand +66
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start in late-summer 2026, revolutionizing transient astronomy. Here, we present the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) Shadow Survey, which…
JWST's Dusty Blue BOAT -- GRB 221009A
Nguyen M. Khang, Gavin P. Lamb, Helena-M. S. Grabham +6
GRB 221009A, the Brightest Of All Time (BOAT), presents a challenge for afterglow modelling due to its low Galactic latitude and consequent high line-of-sight extinction. This has…
ENGRAVE follow-up of a type IIb supernova spatially coincident with the sub-threshold gravitational wave trigger S250818k
K. Ackley, M. T. Botticella, A. Boye +54
The candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k was one of only three non-retracted LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA public alerts issued during the fourth observing run of the network (O4) w…
GRB 210704A: A Luminous Fast Blue Transient in a GRB Afterglow at
Daniëlle L. A. Pieterse, Andrew J. Levan, Maria E. Ravasio +27
We present detailed, multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 210704A: a Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor discovered and Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) detected gamma-ray burst (GRB). The b…
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…
Multiwavelength Modeling of the Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient AT2024wpp
Conor M. B. Omand, Nikhil Sarin, Gavin P. Lamb +14
Luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) are a growing class of enigmatic energetic transients. They show fast rises and declines, high temperatures throughout their evolutio…
Unveiling the nature of the Einstein Probe transient EP 241021a
J. Quirola-Vásquez, P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan +23
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the fast X-ray transient EP 241021a, discovered by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope aboard the \emph{Einstein Probe} satellite on 2024 Octob…
GRB 250702B: Discovery of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Black Hole Falling into a Star
Eliza Neights, Eric Burns, Chris L. Fryer +52
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe. Their prompt gamma-ray emission has typical durations between a fraction of a second and several minu…
JWST Spectroscopy of GRB 250702B: An Extremely Rare and Exceptionally Energetic Burst in a Dusty, Massive Galaxy at
Benjamin P. Gompertz, Andrew J. Levan, Tanmoy Laskar +25
We present follow-up observations of the day-long, repeating GRB 250702B with the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Through the i…
The radio flare and multi-wavelength afterglow of the short GRB 231117A: energy injection from a violent shell collision
G. E. Anderson, G. P. Lamb, B. P. Gompertz +64
We present the early radio detection and multi-wavelength modeling of the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 231117A at redshift . The Australia Telescope Compact Array automatic…
GRB 241105A: A test case for GRB classification and rapid r-process nucleosynthesis channels
