ALMA and GMRT constraints on the off-axis gamma-ray burst 170817A from the binary neutron star merger GW170817
Sam Kim, Steve Schulze, Lekshmi Resmi +31
Binary neutron-star mergers (BNSMs) are among the most readily detectable gravitational-wave (GW) sources with LIGO. They are also thought to produce short -ray bursts (SGRBs),…
The Emergence of a Lanthanide-Rich Kilonova Following the Merger of Two Neutron Stars
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +51
We report the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/V…
The host of the Type I SLSN 2017egm: A young, sub-solar metallicity environment in a massive spiral galaxy
L. Izzo, C. C. Thöne, R. García-Benito +7
Here we present an integral-field study of the massive, high-metallicity spiral NGC 3191, the host of SN 2017egm, the closest SLSN Type I to date. We use data from PMAS/CAHA and th…
A spectroscopic look at the gravitationally lensed type Ia SN 2016geu at z=0.409
Zach Cano, Jonatan Selsing, Jens Hjorth +4
The spectacular success of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in SN-cosmology is based on the assumption that their photometric and spectroscopic properties are invariant with redshift. H…
A long optical plateau in the afterglow of the Extended Emission short GRB 150424A: Evidence for energy injection by a magnetar?
F. Knust, J. Greiner, H. J. van Eerten +14
Short-duration GRBs with extended emission form a subclass of short GRBs, comprising about 15% of the short-duration sample. Afterglow detections of short GRBs are also rare (about…
The Optical/NIR afterglow of GRB 111209A: Complex yet not Unprecedented
D. A. Kann, P. Schady, F. Olivares E. +24
Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are simple in the most basic model, but can show many complex features. The ultra-long duration GRB 111209A, one of the longest GRBs ever dete…
GRB 161219B / SN 2016jca: A low-redshift gamma-ray burst supernova powered by radioactive heating
Z. Cano, L. Izzo, A. de Ugarte Postigo +22
Since the first discovery of a broad-lined type Ic supernova (SN) with a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) in 1998, fewer than fifty gamma-ray burst supernovae (GRB-SNe) have bee…
The properties of GRB 120923A at a spectroscopic redshift of z=7.8
N. R. Tanvir, T. Laskar, A. J. Levan +37
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful probes of early stars and galaxies, during and potentially even before the era of reionization. Although the number of GRBs identified at z>6 r…
A New, Faint Population of X-ray Transients
F. E. Bauer, E. Treister, K. Schawinski +22
We report on the detection of a remarkable new fast high-energy transient found in the Chandra Deep Field-South, robustly associated with a faint ( mag, $z_{\rm ph}…
