An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z0.3 with the Kilonova and Transients Program (KNTraP)
Natasha Van Bemmel, Jielai Zhang, Jeff Cooke +15
Compact binary mergers detectable in gravitational waves can be accompanied by a kilonova, an electromagnetic transient powered by radioactive decay of newly synthesised r-process…
A fast X-ray transient from a weak relativistic jet associated with a type Ic-BL supernova
H. Sun, W. -X. Li, L. -D. Liu +163
Massive stars end their lives as core-collapse supernovae, amongst which some extremes are broad-lined type Ic supernovae from Wolf-Rayet stars associated with long-duration gamma-…
Ready for O4 II: GRANDMA Observations of Swift GRBs during eight-weeks of Spring 2022
I. Tosta e Melo, J. -G. Ducoin, Z. Vidadi +106
We present a campaign designed to train the GRANDMA network and its infrastructure to follow up on transient alerts and detect their early afterglows. In preparation for O4 II camp…
Panning for gold, but finding helium: discovery of the ultra-stripped supernova SN2019wxt from gravitational-wave follow-up observations
I. Agudo, L. Amati, T. An +96
We present the results from multi-wavelength observations of a transient discovered during the follow-up of S191213g, a gravitational wave (GW) event reported by the LIGO-Virgo Col…
A Missing-Link in the Supernova-GRB Connection: The Case of SN 2012ap
Sayan Chakraborti, Alicia Soderberg, Laura Chomiuk +50
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are characterized by ultra-relativistic outflows, while supernovae are generally characterized by non-relativistic ejecta. GRB afterglows decelerate rapidly…
The ultraluminous GRB 110918A
D. D. Frederiks, K. Hurley, D. S. Svinkin +29
GRB 110918A is the brightest long GRB detected by Konus-WIND during its 19 years of continuous observations and the most luminous GRB ever observed since the beginning of the cosmo…
Panchromatic Observations of SN 2011dh Point to a Compact Progenitor Star
Alicia M. Soderberg, R. Margutti, B. A. Zauderer +32
We report the discovery and detailed monitoring of X-ray emission associated with the Type IIb SN 2011dh using data from the Swift and Chandra satellites, placing it among the best…
PTF 10bzf (SN 2010ah): a broad-line Ic supernova discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
A. Corsi, E. O. Ofek, D. A. Frail +26
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of a broad-line type-Ic supernova (SN), PTF 10bzf (SN 2010ah), detected by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) on 2010 February…
The Interplanetary Network Supplement to the HETE-2 Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog
K. Hurley, J. -L. Atteia, C. Barraud +43
Between 2000 November and 2006 May, one or more spacecraft of the interplanetary network (IPN) detected 226 cosmic gamma-ray bursts that were also detected by the FREGATE experimen…
A new analysis of the short-duration, hard-spectrum GRB 051103, a possible extragalactic SGR giant flare
K. Hurley, A. Rowlinson, E. Bellm +34
GRB 051103 is considered to be a candidate soft gamma repeater (SGR) extragalactic giant magnetar flare by virtue of its proximity on the sky to M81/M82, as well as its time histor…
The Collimation and Energetics of the Brightest Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
S. B. Cenko, D. A. Frail, F. A. Harrison +22
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are widely believed to be highly-collimated explosions (opening angle theta ~ 1-10 deg). As a result of this beaming factor, the true energy r…
Dark Bursts in the Swift Era: The Palomar 60 inch-Swift Early Optical Afterglow Catalog
S. B. Cenko, J. Kelemen, F. A. Harrison +8
We present multi-color optical observations of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) made over a three year period with the robotic Palomar 60 inch telescope (P60). Our sample cons…
An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova
A. M. Soderberg, E. Berger, K. L. Page +40
Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions, supernovae, that synthesize new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Throughout history supernovae were discovered ch…
