JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger
A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80
The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…
Swift/UVOT discovery of Swift J221951-484240: a UV luminous ambiguous nuclear transient
S. R. Oates, N. P. M. Kuin, M. Nicholl +57
We report the discovery of Swift J221951-484240 (hereafter: J221951), a luminous slow-evolving blue transient that was detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Ultra-violet/O…
GRB 201015A and the nature of low-luminosity soft gamma-ray bursts
M. Patel, B. P. Gompertz, P. T. O'Brien +20
GRB 201015A is a peculiarly low luminosity, spectrally soft gamma-ray burst (GRB), with s (time interval of detection of 90\% of photons from the GRB), a…
GRB 221009A: Discovery of an Exceptionally Rare Nearby and Energetic Gamma-Ray Burst
Maia A. Williams, Jamie A. Kennea, S. Dichiara +53
We report the discovery of the unusually bright long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB 221009A, as observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift), Monitor of All-sky X-ra…
First wide field-of-view X-ray observations by a lobster eye focusing telescope in orbit
C. Zhang, Z. X. Ling, X. J. Sun +75
As a novel X-ray focusing technology, lobster eye micro-pore optics (MPO) feature both a wide observing field of view and true imaging capability, promising sky monitoring with sig…
Simulated optical light curves of super-Eddington tidal disruption events with ZEBRA flows
R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris, R. L. C. Starling, P. T. O'Brien +2
We present simulated optical light curves of super-Eddington tidal disruption events (TDEs) using the zero-Bernoulli accretion (ZEBRA) flow model, which proposes that during the su…
