The Luminous Infrared Host Galaxy of Short-Duration GRB 100206A
Daniel A. Perley, M. Modjaz, A. N. Morgan +5
The known host galaxies of short-hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to date are characterized by low to moderate star-formation rates and a broad range of stellar masses. In this paper,…
Constraining GRB Emission Physics with Extensive Early-Time, Multiband Follow-up
A. Cucchiara, S. B. Cenko, J. S. Bloom +21
Understanding the origin and diversity of emission processes responsible for Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) remains a pressing challenge. While prompt and contemporaneous panchromatic obs…
An unusual stellar death on Christmas Day
C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. L. Fryer +31
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually as- sociated with supernovae (Woosley et al. 2006). They release ultra-relativistic j…
A faint optical flash in dust-obscured GRB 080603A - implications for GRB prompt emission mechanisms
C. Guidorzi, S. Kobayashi, D. A. Perley +23
We report the detection of a faint optical flash by the 2-m Faulkes Telescope North simultaneously with the second of two prompt gamma-ray pulses in INTEGRAL gamma-ray burst (GRB)…
An extremely luminous panchromatic outburst from the nucleus of a distant galaxy
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, S. B. Cenko +58
Variable X-ray and gamma-ray emission is characteristic of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe, and studying the sources of these energetic photons has been a major…
A relativistic jetted outburst from a massive black hole fed by a tidally disrupted star
Joshua S. Bloom, Dimitrios Giannios, Brian D. Metzger +19
While gas accretion onto some massive black holes (MBHs) at the centers of galaxies actively powers luminous emission, the vast majority of MBHs are considered dormant. Occasionall…
