Gamma-ray burst progenitors revisited
Andrew J. Levan, Jillian C. Rastinejad, Helena-Margaret S. Grabham +11
The paper examines nearby long-duration gamma-ray bursts that lack supernova signatures, finding that many may originate from compact object mergers rather than massive stars, and…
GRB 180728A and SN 2018fip: the nearest high-energy cosmological gamma-ray burst with an associated supernova
A. Rossi, L. Izzo, K. Maeda +29
The long GRB 180728A, at a redshift of , stands out due to its high isotropic energy of erg, in contrast with most events at redshi…
Can GRB 250702B be explained as the tidal disruption of a white dwarf by an intermediate mass black hole? Yes
Rob AJ Eyles-Ferris, Andrew King, Rhaana LC Starling +11
GRB 250702B is a unique astrophysical transient characterised by its nature as a repeating gamma-ray trigger. Its properties include possible periodicity in its gamma-ray light cur…
JWST and HST observations of the host galaxy and supernova, SN 2024aihh in EP240801a at z=1.67
Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +15
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the counterpart of EP240801a, at z=1.67, the first fast X-ray transient (FXT) identifi…
Unveiling the nature of the Einstein Probe transient EP 241021a
J. Quirola-Vásquez, P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan +23
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the fast X-ray transient EP 241021a, discovered by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope aboard the \emph{Einstein Probe} satellite on 2024 Octob…
Discovery and Analysis of Afterglows from Poorly Localised GRBs with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) All-sky Survey
Amit Kumar, B. P. Gompertz, B. Schneider +86
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation…
