GRB 190114C in the nuclear region of an interacting galaxy -- A detailed host analysis using ALMA, HST and VLT

A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thöne, S. Martın +28

GRB 190114C is the first GRB for which the detection of very-high energy emission up to the TeV range has been reported. It is still unclear whether environmental properties might…

Polarimetry of relativistic tidal disruption event Swift J2058+0516

K. Wiersema, A. B. Higgins, A. J. Levan +8

A small fraction of candidate tidal disruption events (TDEs) show evidence of powerful relativistic jets, which are particularly pronounced at radio wavelengths, and likely contrib…

Identification of strontium in the merger of two neutron stars

Darach Watson, Camilla J. Hansen, Jonatan Selsing +15

Half of all the elements in the universe heavier than iron were created by rapid neutron capture. The theory for this astrophysical `-process' was worked out six decades ago and…

The Rate of Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts in the local Universe

Soheb Mandhai, Nial Tanvir, Gavin Lamb +2

The binary neutron star merger responsible for the gravitational wave event, GW170817, strengthened the merger association with short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) following th…

An unusual transient following the short GRB 071227

R. A. J. Eyles, P. T. O'Brien, K. Wiersema +7

We present X-ray and optical observations of the short duration gamma-ray burst GRB 071227 and its host at , obtained using \textit{Swift}, Gemini South and the Very Large…

The Case for a High-Redshift Origin of GRB100205A

A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, E. R. Stanway +15

The number of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) known to have occurred in the distant Universe (z greater than 5) is small (approx 15), however these events provide a powerful way of pr…

The late-time afterglow evolution of long gamma-ray bursts GRB 160625B and GRB 160509A

Tuomas Kangas, Andrew S. Fruchter, S. Bradley Cenko +12

We present post-jet-break \textit{HST}, VLA and \textit{Chandra} observations of the afterglow of the long -ray bursts GRB 160625B (between 69 and 209 days) and GRB 160509A (bet…

Short GRB 160821B: a reverse shock, a refreshed shock, and a well-sampled kilonova

G. P. Lamb, N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan +31

We report our identification of the optical afterglow and host galaxy of the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 160821B. The spectroscopic redshift of the host is , making…

Gravity and Light: Combining Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Observations in the 2020s

R. J. Foley, K. D. Alexander, I. Andreoni +110

As of today, we have directly detected exactly one source in both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation, the binary neutron star merger GW170817, its associa…

Signatures of a jet cocoon in early spectra of a supernova associated with a -ray burst

L. Izzo, A. de Ugarte Postigo, K. Maeda +39

Long gamma-ray bursts mark the death of massive stars, as revealed by their association with energetic broad-lined stripped-envelope supernovae. The scarcity of nearby events and t…
