ENGRAVE follow-up of a type IIb supernova spatially coincident with the sub-threshold gravitational wave trigger S250818k

K. Ackley, M. T. Botticella, A. Boye +54

The candidate gravitational wave (GW) event S250818k was one of only three non-retracted LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA public alerts issued during the fourth observing run of the network (O4) w…

ASKAP J005512.2-255834: A Luminous, Long-Lived Radio Transient at z = 0.1 -- an Orphan Afterglow or an off-nuclear TDE from an IMBH?

Ashna Gulati, Tara Murphy, David L. Kaplan +24

We report the discovery of a slowly evolving, extragalactic radio transient, ASKAP J005512.2--255834 (hereafter ASKAP J0055-2558), identified using the Australian SKA Pathfinder in…

Evolution and afterglow emission of gamma-ray burst jets from binary neutron star mergers

Emma Dreas, Om Sharan Salafia, Andrea Pavan +2

Relativistic jets launched in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are widely accepted as the engines powering most of the population of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Understanding t…

Late-time X-ray afterglows of GRBs: Implications for particle acceleration at relativistic shocks

Zhi-Qiu Huang, Om Sharan Salafia, Lara Nava +2

Particle-in-cell (PIC) numerical simulations are currently among the most advanced tools to investigate particle acceleration at relativistic shocks. Still, they come with limitati…

MeV absorption in gamma-ray bursts as a probe of their progenitor environments

Gor Oganesyan, Om Sharan Salafia, Emanuele Sobacchi +8

A small fraction of X-ray photons from -ray bursts (GRBs), after escaping the relativistic jet, are scattered by electrons in the circumburst medium. Subsequent photon-photon ab…

Short gamma-ray burst progenitors have short delay times

Matteo Pracchia, Om Sharan Salafia

Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to be primarily associated with binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. The SGRB population can therefore be scrutinized for signatures of the…
