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…

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…

Cosmology with XMM galaxy clusters: the X-CLASS/GROND catalogue and photometric redshifts

J. Ridl, N. Clerc, T. Sadibekova +11

The XMM Cluster Archive Super Survey (X-CLASS) is a serendipitously-detected X-ray-selected sample of 845 galaxy clusters based on 2774 XMM archival observations and covering appro…
