The optical afterglow of GW170817 at one year post-merger

G. P. Lamb, J. D. Lyman, A. J. Levan +9

We present observations of the optical afterglow of GRB\,170817A, made by the {\it Hubble Space Telescope}, between February and August 2018, up to one year after the neutron star…

Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with LSST

R. Margutti, P. Cowperthwaite, Z. Doctor +79

The discovery of the electromagnetic counterparts to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of GW+EM multi-messenger astronomy. Exploiting this breakthrough req…

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

Soheb Mandhai, Nial Tanvir, Gavin Lamb +2

Following the faint gamma-ray burst, GRB 170817A, coincident with a gravitational wave-detected binary neutron star merger at Mpc, we consider the constraints on a local…

Cold gas in the early Universe. Survey for neutral atomic-carbon in GRB host galaxies at 1 < z < 6 from optical afterglow spectroscopy

K. E. Heintz, C. Ledoux, J. P. U. Fynbo +14

We present a survey for neutral atomic-carbon (CI) along gamma-ray burst (GRB) sightlines, which probes the shielded neutral gas-phase in the interstellar medium (ISM) of GRB host…

Evidence for diffuse molecular gas and dust in the hearts of gamma-ray burst host galaxies

J. Bolmer, C. Ledoux, P. Wiseman +17

Here we built up a sample of 22 GRBs at redshifts observed with X-shooter to determine the abundances of hydrogen, metals, dust, and molecular species. This allows us to st…

Infrared molecular hydrogen lines in GRB host galaxies

K. Wiersema, A. Togi, D. Watson +12

Molecular species, most frequently H_2, are present in a small, but growing, number of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow spectra at redshifts z~2-3, detected through their rest-frame…
