One year of broadband radio monitoring of the enigmatic transient GRB 250702B reveals the evolution of the relativistic jet
A. J. Goodwin, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Itai Sfaradi +19
We present an extensive radio monitoring campaign of the unique extragalactic transient GRB 250702B, with observations spanning 0.65-233 GHz from 6-356 d (observer frame) post-disc…
Revealing the Structure and Magnetization of GRB Jets with ALMA Polarization Observations
Tanmoy Laskar, Collin T. Christy, Noah Franz +9
We present a systematic study of the currently available ALMA millimeter polarimetric sample of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Our sample comprises 24 observations (20 new) of 1…
Compact Objects Merging with Stars as an Origin of Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients
V. Ashley Villar, Anya E. Nugent, Eric Burns +4
Ultra-long gamma-ray bursts (ULGRBs) and luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) are two rare classes of engine-driven transients whose physical connection remains unknown.…
Radio Observations of the Unusual Tidal Disruption Event AT 2022wtn: a Fast and Highly Energetic Outflow
Gavin Farley, Tanmoy Laskar, Noah Franz +11
We present multi-epoch, multi-frequency radio observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT 2022wtn, obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and Giant Metrewa…
Rapid-response 1.3 mm Observations of GRB 260127A with the Submillimeter Array
Garrett K. Keating, Tanmoy Laskar, Anna Y. Q. Ho +9
We present the results from rapid-response 1.3 mm observations of GRB 260127A using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). SMA arrived on-source 12.6 minutes after the initial detection by…
The Multi-Wavelength Context of Delayed Radio Emission in TDEs: Evidence for Accretion-Driven Outflows
Kate D. Alexander, Raffaella Margutti, Sebastian Gomez +20
Recent observations presented in Cendes et al. (2024a) show that optically selected tidal disruption events (TDEs) commonly produce delayed radio emission that can peak years post-…
