The ultra-long GRB 220627A at z=3.08

S. de Wet, L. Izzo, P. J. Groot +19

GRB 220627A is a rare burst with two distinct gamma-ray emission episodes separated by almost 1000 s that triggered the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor twice. High-energy GeV emissio…

JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger

A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80

The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…

1100 days in the life of the supernova 2018ibb -- The best pair-instability supernova candidate, to date

Steve Schulze, Claes Fransson, Alexandra Kozyreva +63

Abridged - Stars with ZAMS masses between 140 and are thought to explode as pair-instability supernovae (PISNe). During their thermonuclear runaway, PISNe can produce…

The first JWST spectrum of a GRB afterglow: No bright supernova in observations of the brightest GRB of all time, GRB 221009A

A. J. Levan, G. P. Lamb, B. Schneider +57

We present JWST and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the afterglow of GRB 221009A, the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed. This includes the first mid-IR spe…

The brightest GRB ever detected: GRB 221009A as a highly luminous event at z = 0.151

D. B. Malesani, A. J. Levan, L. Izzo +39

Context: The extreme luminosity of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) makes them powerful beacons for studies of the distant Universe. The most luminous bursts are typically detected at moder…

A short gamma-ray burst from a proto-magnetar remnant

N. Jordana-Mitjans, C. G. Mundell, C. Guidorzi +10

The contemporaneous detection of gravitational waves and gamma rays from the GW170817/GRB 170817A, followed by kilonova emission a day after, confirmed compact binary neutron-star…
