An Optically Led Search for Kilonovae to z0.3 with the Kilonova and Transients Program (KNTraP)
Natasha Van Bemmel, Jielai Zhang, Jeff Cooke +15
Compact binary mergers detectable in gravitational waves can be accompanied by a kilonova, an electromagnetic transient powered by radioactive decay of newly synthesised r-process…
Explaining Non-Merger Gamma-Ray Bursts and Broad-Lined Supernovae with Close Binary Progenitors with Black Hole Central Engine
Christopher L. Fryer, Eric Burns, Anna Y. Q. Ho +5
For over 25 years, the origin of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (lGRBs) has been linked to the collapse of rotating massive stars. However, we have yet to pinpoint the stellar prog…
GRB220831A: a hostless, intermediate Gamma-ray burst with an unusual optical afterglow
James Freeburn, Brendan O'Connor, Jeff Cooke +20
GRB220831A is a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with a duration and spectral peak energy that places it at the interface between the distribution of long-soft and short-hard GRBs. In thi…
Characterization of a peculiar Einstein Probe transient EP240408a: an exotic gamma-ray burst or an abnormal jetted tidal disruption event?
B. O'Connor, D. Pasham, I. Andreoni +30
We present the results of our multi-wavelength (X-ray to radio) follow-up campaign of the Einstein Probe transient EP240408a. The initial 10 s trigger displayed bright soft X-ray (…
