Panning for gold with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory: an optimal strategy for finding the counterparts to gravitational wave events

R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris, P. A. Evans, A. A. Breeveld +17

The LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA gravitational wave observatories are currently undertaking their O4 observing run offering the opportunity to discover new electromagnetic counterparts to…

The Einstein Probe transient EP240414a: Linking Fast X-ray Transients, Gamma-ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients

Joyce N. D. van Dalen, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +30

Detections of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) have been accrued over the last few decades. However, their origin has remained mysterious. There is now rapid progress thanks to timely…

GRB 240529A: A Tale of Two Shocks

Tian-Rui Sun, Jin-Jun Geng, Jing-Zhi Yan +66

Thanks to the rapidly increasing time-domain facilities, we are entering a golden era of research on gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In this Letter, we report our observations of GRB 2405…

Rapid Response Mode observations of GRB 160203A: Looking for fine-structure line variability at z=3.52

G. Pugliese, A. Saccardi, V. D Elia +26

Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic known explosions. Despite fading rapidly, they allow to measure redshift and important properties of their host-galaxies. We report the phot…

The host of GRB 171205A in 3D -- A resolved multiwavelength study of a rare grand-design spiral GRB host

C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, L. Izzo +17

Long GRB hosts at z<1 are usually low-mass, low metallicity star-forming galaxies. Here we present the until now most detailed, spatially resolved study of the host of GRB 171205A,…

The fast X-ray transient EP240315a: a z ~ 5 gamma-ray burst in a Lyman continuum leaking galaxy

Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker, Andrea Saccardi +73

The nature of the minute-to-hour long Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) localised by telescopes such as Chandra, Swift, and XMM-Newton remains mysterious, with numerous models suggested…
