The GROND gamma-ray burst sample. I. Overview and statistics
J. Greiner, T. Krühler, J. Bolmer +17
A dedicated gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow observing program was performed between 2007 and 2016 with GROND, a seven-channel optical and near-infrared imager at the 2.2m telescope…
GRB 151027B - large-amplitude late-time radio variability
J. Greiner, J. Bolmer, M. Wieringa +20
Deriving physical parameters from gamma-ray burst afterglow observations remains a challenge, even now, 20 years after the discovery of afterglows. The main reason for the lack of…
A long optical plateau in the afterglow of the Extended Emission short GRB 150424A: Evidence for energy injection by a magnetar?
F. Knust, J. Greiner, H. J. van Eerten +14
Short-duration GRBs with extended emission form a subclass of short GRBs, comprising about 15% of the short-duration sample. Afterglow detections of short GRBs are also rare (about…
The Optical/NIR afterglow of GRB 111209A: Complex yet not Unprecedented
D. A. Kann, P. Schady, F. Olivares E. +24
Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are simple in the most basic model, but can show many complex features. The ultra-long duration GRB 111209A, one of the longest GRBs ever dete…
The properties of GRB 120923A at a spectroscopic redshift of z=7.8
N. R. Tanvir, T. Laskar, A. J. Levan +37
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful probes of early stars and galaxies, during and potentially even before the era of reionization. Although the number of GRBs identified at z>6 r…
Hayabusa-2 Mission Target Asteroid 162173 Ryugu (1999 JU3): Searching for the Object's Spin-Axis Orientation
T. G. Müller, J. Ďurech, M. Ishiguro +27
The JAXA Hayabusa-2 mission was approved in 2010 and launched on December 3, 2014. The spacecraft will arrive at the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu in 2018 where it will perform…
The evolution of superluminous supernova LSQ14mo and its interacting host galaxy system
T. -W. Chen, M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt +26
We present and analyse an extensive dataset of the superluminous supernova (SLSN) LSQ14mo (z = 0.256), consisting of a multi-colour lightcurve from -30 d to +70 d in the rest-frame…
Highly Luminous Supernovae associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts I.: GRB 111209A/SN 2011kl in the Context of Stripped-Envelope and Superluminous Supernovae
D. A. Kann, P. Schady, F. E. Olivares +22
GRB 111209A, one of the longest Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) ever observed, is linked to SN 2011kl, the most luminous GRB-Supernova (SN) detected so far, which shows evidence for being…
The optical identifcation of events with poorly defined locations: The case of the Fermi GBM GRB140801A
V. M. Lipunov, J. Gorosabel, M. V. Pruzhinskaya +50
We report the early discovery of the optical afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 140801A in the 137 deg 3- error-box of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). MASTER is the…
A very luminous magnetar-powered supernova associated with an ultra-long gamma-ray burst
Jochen Greiner, Paolo A. Mazzali, D. Alexander Kann +29
A new class of ultra-long duration (>10,000 s) gamma-ray bursts has recently been suggested. They may originate in the explosion of stars with much larger radii than normal long ga…
Super-solar metallicity at the position of the ultra-long GRB130925A
P. Schady, T. Kruehler, J. Greiner +17
Over the last decade there has been immense progress in the follow-up of short and long GRBs, resulting in a significant rise in the detection rate of X-ray and optical afterglows,…
iPTF14yb: The First Discovery of a GRB Afterglow Independent of a High-Energy Trigger
S. Bradley Cenko, Alex L. Urban, Daniel A. Perley +34
We report here the discovery by the Intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) of iPTF14yb, a luminous ( mag), cosmological (redshift 1.9733), rapidly fading…
Microphysics and dynamics of the Gamma-Ray Burst 121024A
K. Varela, H. van Eerten, J. Greiner +28
Aims. The aim of the study is to constrain the physics of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by analysing the multi-wavelength afterglow data set of GRB 121024A that covers the full range fro…
Circular polarization in the optical afterglow of GRB 121024A
K. Wiersema, S. Covino, K. Toma +37
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are most probably powered by collimated relativistic outflows (jets) from accreting black holes at cosmological distances. Bright afterglows are produced wh…
