Lateral spreading effects on VLBI radio images of neutron star merger jets

Joseph John Fernández, Shiho Kobayashi, Gavin P. Lamb

Very long base interferometry (VLBI) radio images recently proved to be essential in breaking the degeneracy in the ejecta model for the neutron star merger GW170817. We discuss th…

ALMA Detection of a Linearly Polarized Reverse Shock in GRB 190114C

Tanmoy Laskar, Kate D. Alexander, Ramandeep Gill +11

We present ALMA 97.5 GHz total intensity and linear polarization observations of the mm-band afterglow of GRB 190114C spanning 2.2 to 5.2 hours after the burst. We detect linear po…

Reverse Shocks in the Relativistic Outflows of Gravitational Wave Detected Neutron Star Binary Mergers

Gavin P Lamb, Shiho Kobayashi

The afterglows to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are due to synchrotron emission from shocks generated as an ultra-relativistic outflow decelerates. A forward and a reverse shock will for…

First ALMA Light Curve Constrains Refreshed Reverse Shocks and Jet Magnetization in GRB 161219B

Tanmoy Laskar, Kate D. Alexander, Edo Berger +13

We present detailed multi-wavelength observations of GRB 161219B at , spanning the radio to X-ray regimes, and the first ALMA light curve of a GRB afterglow. The cm- and…

Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap

Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203

The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
