GRB 180620A: Evidence for late-time energy injection
Rosa L. Becerra, Fabio De Colle, Alan M. Watson +11
The early optical emission of gamma-ray bursts gives an opportunity to understand the central engine and first stages of these events. About 30\% of GRBs present flares whose origi…
Astro2020: Astrophotonics White Paper
Pradip Gatkine, Sylvain Veilleux, John Mather +19
Astrophotonics is the application of versatile photonic technologies to channel, manipulate, and disperse guided light from one or more telescopes to achieve scientific objectives…
Reverse Shock Emission Revealed in Early Photometry in the Candidate Short GRB 180418A
Rosa L. Becerra, Simone Dichiara, Alan M. Watson +14
We present observations of the possible short GRB 180418A in -rays, X-rays, and in the optical. Early optical photometry with the TAROT and RATIR instruments show a bright peak…
GRBs as Probes of the Early Universe with TSO
Nial Tanvir, Jonathan Grindlay, Edo Berger +12
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous known electromagnetic radiation sources in the Universe for the 3 to 300 sec of their prompt flashes (isotropic X/ gamma-ray lumi…
Big Science with a nUV-MidIR Rapid-Response 1.3m telescope at L2
Jonathan Grindlay, Edo Berger, Brian Metzger +12
Time-domain Astrophysics (TDA), a foundation of Astronomy, has become a major part of current and projected (2020s) astrophysics. While much has been derived from temporal measures…
Kilonovae: nUV/Optical/IR Counterparts of Neutron Star Binary Mergers with TSO
Brian D. Metzger, Edo Berger, Jonathan Grindlay +12
With the epochal first detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star (NS) merger with the GW170817 event, and its direct confirmation that NS-NS mergers are significa…
