The Highly Energetic Expansion of SN2010bh Associated with GRB 100316D
Filomena Bufano, Elena Pian, Jesper Sollerman +50
We present the spectroscopic and photometric evolution of the nearby (z = 0.059) spectroscopically confirmed type Ic supernova, SN 2010bh, associated with the soft, long-duration g…
Short gamma-ray bursts: evidence for an origin in globular clusters?
Ross P. Church, Andrew J. Levan, Melvyn B. Davies +1
We compare the observed spatial offsets of short gamma-ray bursts from their host galaxies with their predicted distributions, assuming that they originate in double neutron star b…
Swift J2058.4+0516: Discovery of a Possible Second Relativistic Tidal Disruption Flare?
S. Bradley Cenko, Hans A. Krimm, Assaf Horesh +18
We report the discovery by the Swift hard X-ray monitor of the transient source Swift J2058.4+0516 (Sw J2058+05). Our multi-wavelength follow-up campaign uncovered a long-lived (du…
An extremely luminous panchromatic outburst from the nucleus of a distant galaxy
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, S. B. Cenko +58
Variable X-ray and gamma-ray emission is characteristic of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe, and studying the sources of these energetic photons has been a major…
A relativistic jetted outburst from a massive black hole fed by a tidally disrupted star
Joshua S. Bloom, Dimitrios Giannios, Brian D. Metzger +19
While gas accretion onto some massive black holes (MBHs) at the centers of galaxies actively powers luminous emission, the vast majority of MBHs are considered dormant. Occasionall…
Variable Ly alpha sheds light on the environment surrounding GRB 090426
C. C. Thöne, S. Campana, D. Lazzati +16
Long duration gamma-ray bursts are commonly associated with the deaths of massive stars. Spectroscopic studies using the afterglow as a light source provide a unique opportunity to…
Implications for the origin of short gamma-ray bursts from their observed positions around their host galaxies
Ross P. Church, Andrew J. Levan, Melvyn B. Davies +1
We present the observed offsets of short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) from their putative host galaxies and compare them to the expected distributions of merging compact objec…
