Burst and Outburst Characteristics of Magnetar 4U 0142+61
Ersin Gogus, Lin Lin, Oliver J. Roberts +10
We have compiled the most comprehensive burst sample from magnetar 4U 0142+61, comprising 27 bursts from its three burst-active episodes in 2011, 2012 and the latest one in 2015 ob…
Calculating transient rates from surveys
Dario Carbone, Alexander J. van der Horst, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers +1
We have developed a method to determine the transient surface density and transient rate for any given survey, using Monte-Carlo simulations. This method allows us to determine the…
A LOFAR detection of the low mass young star T Tau at 149 MHz
Colm P. Coughlan, Rachael E. Ainsworth, Jochen Eislöffel +15
Radio observations of young stellar objects (YSOs) enable the study of ionised plasma outflows from young protostars via their free-free radiation. Previous studies of the low-mass…
The second closest gamma-ray burst: sub-luminous GRB 111005A with no supernova in a super-solar metallicity environment
Michał J. Michałowski, Dong Xu, Jamie Stevens +17
We report the detection of the radio afterglow of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 111005A at 5-345 GHz, including the very long baseline interferometry observations with the positiona…
Magnetar-like X-ray Bursts from a Rotation Powered Pulsar, PSR J1119-6127
Ersin Gogus, Lin Lin, Yuki Kaneko +8
Two energetic hard X-ray bursts have recently triggered the Fermi and Swift space observatories from the rotation powered pulsar, PSR J1119-6127. We have performed in depth spectra…
The Afterglow and Early-Type Host Galaxy of the Short GRB 150101B at z=0.1343
Wen-fai Fong, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +14
We present the discovery of the X-ray and optical afterglows of the short-duration GRB 150101B, pinpointing the event to an early-type host galaxy at z=0.1343 +/- 0.0030. This make…
No apparent superluminal motion in the first-known jetted tidal disruption event Swift J1644+5734
J. Yang, Z. Paragi, A. J. van der Horst +5
The first-known tidal disruption event (TDE) with strong evidence for a relativistic jet -- based on extensive multi-wavelength campaigns -- is Swift J1644+5734. In order to direct…
