The lowest metallicity type II supernova from the highest mass red-supergiant progenitor

J. P. Anderson, L. Dessart, C. P. Gutiérrez +29

Red supergiants have been confirmed as the progenitor stars of the majority of hydrogen-rich type II supernovae. However, while such stars are observed with masses >25M, de…

GRB 151027B - large-amplitude late-time radio variability

J. Greiner, J. Bolmer, M. Wieringa +20

Deriving physical parameters from gamma-ray burst afterglow observations remains a challenge, even now, 20 years after the discovery of afterglows. The main reason for the lack of…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

The environment of the SN-less GRB 111005A at z = 0.0133

M. Tanga, T. Krühler, P. Schady +5

The collapsar model has proved highly successful in explaining the properties of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), with the most direct confirmation being the detection of a supernova…

The host galaxy of the short GRB111117A at : impact on the short GRB redshift distribution and progenitor channels

J. Selsing, T. Krühler, D. Malesani +26

It is notoriously difficult to localize short -ray bursts (sGRBs) and their hosts to measure their redshifts. These measurements, however, are critical to constrain the nature o…

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…
