The Luminous Infrared Host Galaxy of Short-Duration GRB 100206A
Daniel A. Perley, M. Modjaz, A. N. Morgan +5
The known host galaxies of short-hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to date are characterized by low to moderate star-formation rates and a broad range of stellar masses. In this paper,…
Constraining GRB Emission Physics with Extensive Early-Time, Multiband Follow-up
A. Cucchiara, S. B. Cenko, J. S. Bloom +21
Understanding the origin and diversity of emission processes responsible for Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) remains a pressing challenge. While prompt and contemporaneous panchromatic obs…
An extremely luminous panchromatic outburst from the nucleus of a distant galaxy
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, S. B. Cenko +58
Variable X-ray and gamma-ray emission is characteristic of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe, and studying the sources of these energetic photons has been a major…
A relativistic jetted outburst from a massive black hole fed by a tidally disrupted star
Joshua S. Bloom, Dimitrios Giannios, Brian D. Metzger +19
While gas accretion onto some massive black holes (MBHs) at the centers of galaxies actively powers luminous emission, the vast majority of MBHs are considered dormant. Occasionall…
PTF10iya: A short-lived, luminous flare from the nuclear region of a star-forming galaxy
S. Bradley Cenko, Joshua S. Bloom, S. R. Kulkarni +28
We present the discovery and characterisation of PTF10iya, a short-lived (dt ~ 10 d, with an optical decay rate of ~ 0.3 mag per d), luminous (M_g ~ -21 mag) transient source found…
