Nine tidal disruption event candidates in eROSITA-DE DR1 discovered through supersoft X-ray selection

R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris, R. L. C. Starling, P. T. O'Brien +2

Tidal disruption events are rare and diverse transients that occur when a star is torn apart by a supermassive black hole and accreted, which can result in a supersoft X-ray therma…

The Swift Burst Analyser I: BAT and XRT spectral and flux evolution of Gamma Ray Bursts

P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +9

Context: Gamma Ray Burst models predict the broadband spectral evolution and the temporal evolution of the energy flux. In contrast, standard data analysis tools and data repositor…

GRB 080319B: A Naked-Eye Stellar Blast from the Distant Universe

J. L. Racusin, S. V. Karpov, M. Sokolowski +81

Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) release copious amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and so provide a window into the process of black hole formation…

An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova

A. M. Soderberg, E. Berger, K. L. Page +40

Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions, supernovae, that synthesize new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Throughout history supernovae were discovered ch…

Anatomy of A Dark Burst - The Afterglow of GRB 060108

S. R. Oates, C. G. Mundell, S. Piranomonte +20

We report the first detection of an optical afterglow of a GRB (060108) that would have been classified as 'dark' in the absence of deep, rapid ground-based optical imaging with th…

Demonstration of an all-optical quantum controlled-NOT gate

J L O'Brien, G J Pryde, A G White +2

The promise of tremendous computational power, coupled with the development of robust error-correcting schemes, has fuelled extensive efforts to build a quantum computer. The requi…
