A millimeter rebrightening in GRB 210702A

Simon de Wet, Tanmoy Laskar, Paul J. Groot +9

We present X-ray to radio frequency observations of the bright long gamma-ray burst GRB 210702A. Our ALMA 97.5 GHz observations show a significant rebrightening by a factor of ~2 b…

A lesson from GW170817: most neutron star mergers result in tightly collimated successful GRB jets

Paz Beniamini, Maria Petropoulou, Rodolfo Barniol Duran +1

The joint detection of gravitational waves (GWs) and -rays from a binary neutron-star (NS) merger provided a unique view of off-axis GRBs and an independent measurement of the N…

The Nature of ULX Source M101 X-1: Optically Thick Outflow from A Stellar Mass Black Hole

Rong-Feng Shen, Rodolfo Barniol Duran, Ehud Nakar +1

The nature of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) has long been plagued by an ambiguity about whether the central compact objects are intermediate-mass (IMBH, >~ 10^3 M_sun) or ste…

Magnetic Fields In Relativistic Collisionless Shocks

Rodolfo Santana, Rodolfo Barniol Duran, Pawan Kumar

We present a systematic study on magnetic fields in Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) external forward shocks (FSs). There are 60 (35) GRBs in our X-ray (optical) sample, mostly from Swift. We…

On the origin of the radio emission of Sw 1644+57

Rodolfo Barniol Duran, Tsvi Piran

We apply relativistic equipartition synchrotron arguments to the radio data of the tidal disruption event candidate Sw 1644+57. We find that, regardless of the details of the equip…

Radius constraints and minimal equipartition energy of relativistically moving synchrotron sources

Rodolfo Barniol Duran, Ehud Nakar, Tsvi Piran

A measurement of the synchrotron self-absorption flux and frequency provides tight constraints on the physical size of the source and a robust lower limit on its energy. This lower…
