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…

Observations of GRB 230307A by TESS

Michael M. Fausnaugh, Rahul Jayaraman, Roland Vanderspek +13

We present the TESS light curve of GRB 230307A. We find two distinct components: a bright, prompt optical component at the time of the Fermi observation that peaked at TESS magnitu…

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…

SN2017jgh - A high-cadence complete shock cooling lightcurve of a SN IIb with the Kepler telescope

P. Armstrong, B. E. Tucker, A. Rest +69

SN 2017jgh is a type IIb supernova discovered by Pan-STARRS during the C16/C17 campaigns of the Kepler/K2 mission. Here we present the Kepler/K2 and ground based observations of SN…

K2 Observations of SN 2018oh Reveal a Two-Component Rising Light Curve for a Type Ia Supernova

G. Dimitriadis, R. J. Foley, A. Rest +145

We present an exquisite, 30-min cadence Kepler (K2) light curve of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 2018oh (ASASSN-18bt), starting weeks before explosion, covering the moment of explo…
