GRB171010A / SN2017htp: a GRB-SN at z=0.33

A. Melandri, D. B. Malesani, L. Izzo +41

The number of supernovae known to be connected with long-duration gamma-ray bursts is increasing and the link between these events is no longer exclusively found at low redshift ($…

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…

Modeling the Light Curves of the Luminous Type Ic Supernova 2007D

Shan-Qin Wang, Zach Cano, Long Li +6

SN~2007D is a nearby (redshift ), luminous Type Ic supernova (SN) having a narrow light curve (LC) and high peak luminosity. Previous research based on the assumption…

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…

The luminous host galaxy, faint supernova and rapid afterglow rebrightening of GRB 100418A

A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thoene, K. Bensch +35

Long gamma-ray bursts give us the chance to study both their extreme physics and the star-forming galaxies in which they form. GRB 100418A, at a z = 0.6239, had a bright optical an…

Highly-ionized metals as probes of the circumburst gas in the natal regions of gamma-ray bursts

K. E. Heintz, D. Watson, P. Jakobsson +18

We present here a survey of high-ionization absorption lines in the afterglow spectra of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained with the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph. Our mai…
