We present X-ray to radio frequency observations of the bright long gamma-ray burst GRB 210702A. Our ALMA 97.5 GHz observations show a significant rebrightening by a factor of ~2 b…
Varying linear polarisation in the dust-free GRB 210610B
J. F. Agüí Fernández, A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thöne +19
Long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are produced by the collapse of some very massive stars, which emit ultra-relativistic jets. When the jets collide with the interstellar medium they de…
Fires in the deep: The luminosity distribution of early-time gamma-ray-burst afterglows in light of the Gamow Explorer sensitivity requirements
D. A. Kann, N. E. White, G. Ghirlanda +58
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are ideal probes of the Universe at high redshift (z > 5), pinpointing the locations of the earliest star-forming galaxies and providing bright backlights t…
Detection of an intranight optical hard-lag with colour variability in blazar PKS 0735+178
Callum McCall, Helen E. Jermak, Iain A. Steele +3
Blazars are a highly variable subclass of active galactic nuclei that have been observed to vary significantly during a single night. This intranight variability remains a debated…
