The Broad-band Counterpart of the Short GRB 200522A at : A Luminous Kilonova or a Collimated Outflow with a Reverse Shock?

W. Fong, T. Laskar, J. Rastinejad +20

We present the discovery of the radio afterglow and near-infrared (NIR) counterpart of the Swift short GRB 200522A, located at a small projected offset of kpc from the…

A Late-time Radio Survey of Short GRBs at : New Constraints on the Remnants of Neutron Star Mergers

Genevieve Schroeder, Ben Margalit, Wen-fai Fong +7

Massive, rapidly-spinning magnetar remnants produced as a result of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers may deposit a fraction of their energy into the surrounding kilonova ejecta, p…

Radio linear polarization of GRB afterglows: Instrumental Systematics in ALMA observations of GRB 171205A

Tanmoy Laskar, Charles L. H. Hull, Paulo Cortes

Polarization measurements of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are a promising means of probing the structure, geometry, and magnetic composition of relativistic GRB jets. However,…

A mildly relativistic outflow from the energetic, fast-rising blue optical transient CSS161010 in a dwarf galaxy

D. L. Coppejans, R. Margutti, G. Terreran +35

We present X-ray and radio observations of the Fast Blue Optical Transient (FBOT) CRTS-CSS161010 J045834-081803 (CSS161010 hereafter) at t=69-531 days. CSS161010 shows luminous X-r…

The Tidal Disruption Event AT 2018hyz II: Light Curve Modeling of a Partially Disrupted Star

Sebastian Gomez, Matt Nicholl, Philip Short +18

AT 2018hyz (=ASASSN-18zj) is a tidal disruption event (TDE) located in the nucleus of a quiescent E+A galaxy at a redshift of , first detected by the All-Sky Automated…
