The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
Prompt emission and early optical afterglow of VHE detected GRB 201015A and GRB 201216C: onset of the external forward shock
Amit Kumar Ror, Rahul Gupta, Martin Jelínek +19
We present a detailed prompt emission and early optical afterglow analysis of the two very high energy (VHE) detected bursts GRB 201015A and GRB 201216C, and their comparison with…
A wind environment and Lorentz factors of tens explain gamma-ray bursts X-ray plateau
H. Dereli-Bégué, A. Pe'er, F. Ryde +3
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are known to have the most relativistic jets, with initial Lorentz factors in the order of a few hundreds. Many GRBs display an early X-ray light-curve plat…
Multi-wavelength study of the luminous GRB 210619B observed with Fermi and ASIM
M. D. Caballero-García, Rahul Gupta, S. B. Pandey +28
We report on detailed multi-wavelength observations and analysis of the very bright and long GRB 210619B, detected by the Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) installed on…
The case for a minute-long merger-driven gamma-ray burst from fast-cooling synchrotron emission
B. P. Gompertz, M. E. Ravasio, M. Nicholl +12
For decades, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been broadly divided into `long'- and `short'-duration bursts, lasting more or less than 2s, respectively. However, this dichotomy does no…
A Kilonova Following a Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at 350 Mpc
J. C. Rastinejad, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +32
Here, we report the discovery of a kilonova associated with the nearby (350 Mpc) minute-duration GRB 211211A. In tandem with deep optical limits that rule out the presence of an ac…
