JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger
A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80
The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…
Swift/UVOT discovery of Swift J221951-484240: a UV luminous ambiguous nuclear transient
S. R. Oates, N. P. M. Kuin, M. Nicholl +57
We report the discovery of Swift J221951-484240 (hereafter: J221951), a luminous slow-evolving blue transient that was detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Ultra-violet/O…
GRB 221009A: Discovery of an Exceptionally Rare Nearby and Energetic Gamma-Ray Burst
Maia A. Williams, Jamie A. Kennea, S. Dichiara +53
We report the discovery of the unusually bright long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB 221009A, as observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift), Monitor of All-sky X-ra…
SkyHopper mission science case I: Identification of high redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts through space-based near-infrared afterglow observations
Matt Thomas, Michele Trenti, Jochen Greiner +9
Long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow observations offer cutting-edge opportunities to characterise the star formation history of the Universe back to the epoch of reionisa…
Blazar nature of high-z radio-loud quasars
Tullia Sbarrato, Gabriele Ghisellini, Gianpiero Tagliaferri +3
We report on the Swift/XRT observation and classification of eleven blazar candidates at . These sources were selected as part of a sample of extremely radio-loud quasars, in…
A blast from the infant Universe: the very high-z GRB 210905A
A. Rossi, D. D. Frederiks, D. A. Kann +52
We present a detailed follow-up of the very energetic GRB 210905A at a high redshift of z = 6.312 and its luminous X-ray and optical afterglow. We obtained a photometric and spectr…
