The obscured hyper-energetic GRB 120624B hosted by a luminous compact galaxy at z = 2.20
A. de Ugarte Postigo, S. Campana, C. C. Thoene +11
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions that we can witness in the Universe. Studying the most extreme cases of these phenomena allows us to constrain the limits for the…
Spectroscopy of the short-hard GRB 130603B: The host galaxy and environment of a compact object merger
A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thoene, A. Rowlinson +40
Short duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to be related to the violent merger of compact objects, such as neutron stars or black holes, which makes them promising sources…
Discovery of the broad-lined Type Ic SN 2013cq associated with the very energetic GRB 130427A
D. Xu, A. de Ugarte Postigo, G. Leloudas +25
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at z < 1 are in most cases found to be accompanied by bright, broad-lined Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic-BL). The highest-energy GRBs are mostly l…
A new population of ultra-long duration gamma-ray bursts
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, R. L. C. Starling +38
We present comprehensive multiwavelength observations of three gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with durations of several thousand seconds. We demonstrate that these events are extragalacti…
