GRB 161219B-SN 2016jca: a powerful stellar collapse

C. Ashall, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +26

We report observations and analysis of the nearby gamma-ray burst GRB\,161219B (redshift ) and the associated Type Ic supernova (SN) 2016jca. GRB\,161219B had an isotropi…

Large Scale Structure. The seventies & Forty years later: From Clusters to Clusters

Guido Chincarini

I describe the beginning, ~ 1970, of the spectroscopic redshift surveys and the discovery of the superclusters filamentary structures and voids. This changed the view of the distri…

Gamma-ray burst optical light-curve zoo: comparison with X-ray observations

Elena Zaninoni, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Raffaella Margutti +2

We present a comprehensive analysis of the optical and X-ray light curves (LCs) and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a large sample of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows to in…

A comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves: the prompt-afterglow connection in Gamma-Ray Bursts

Raffaella Margutti, E. Zaninoni, M. G. Bernardini +1

We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), with more than 650 GRBs. Two questions drive this effort: (1) Does the X-ray…

The X-ray light curve of Gamma-ray bursts: clues to the central engine

M. G. Bernardini, R. Margutti, J. Mao +2

We present the analysis of a large sample of gamma-ray burst (GRB) X-ray light curves in the rest frame to characterise their intrinsic properties in the context of different theor…

GRB 081029: A Gamma-Ray Burst with a Multi-Component Afterglow

Stephen T. Holland, Massimiliano De Pasquale, Jirong Mao +12

We present an analysis of the unusual optical light curve of the gamma-ray burst GRB 081029, a long-soft burst with a redshift of z = 3.8479. We combine X-ray and optical observati…
