Commensal Transient Searches with MeerKAT in Gamma-Ray Burst and Supernova Fields
S. I. Chastain, A. J. van der Horst, A. Horesh +6
The sensitivity and field of view of the MeerKAT radio telescope provides excellent opportunities for commensal transient searches. We carry out a commensal transient search in sup…
The Einstein Probe transient EP240414a: Linking Fast X-ray Transients, Gamma-ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients
Joyce N. D. van Dalen, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +30
Detections of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) have been accrued over the last few decades. However, their origin has remained mysterious. There is now rapid progress thanks to timely…
Rocking the BOAT: the ups and downs of the long-term radio light curve for GRB 221009A
L. Rhodes, A. J. van der Horst, J. S. Bright +24
We present radio observations of the long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A which has become known to the community as the Brightest Of All Time or the BOAT. Our observations…
Constraints on Short Gamma-Ray Burst Physics and Their Host Galaxies from Systematic Radio Follow-up Campaigns
S. I. Chastain, A. J. van der Horst, G. E. Anderson +12
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are explosive transients caused by binary mergers of compact objects containing at least one neutron star. Multi-wavelength afterglow observations pro…
Future Perspectives for Gamma-ray Burst Detection from Space
Enrico Bozzo, Lorenzo Amati, Wayne Baumgartner +35
Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, Gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from the international community due to their central role in the m…
Neutral Fraction of Hydrogen in the Intergalactic Medium Surrounding High-Redshift Gamma-Ray Burst 210905A
H. M. Fausey, S. Vejlgaard, A. J. van der Horst +22
The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) is a key period of cosmological history in which the intergalactic medium (IGM) underwent a major phase change from being neutral to almost complete…
Fires in the deep: The luminosity distribution of early-time gamma-ray-burst afterglows in light of the Gamow Explorer sensitivity requirements
D. A. Kann, N. E. White, G. Ghirlanda +58
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are ideal probes of the Universe at high redshift (z > 5), pinpointing the locations of the earliest star-forming galaxies and providing bright backlights t…
