Searching for Gravitational Wave Events Counterparts in X-Rays by Tilting the Multiple Shells of Wolter-I Optics

John Rankin, Daniele Spiga, Paolo Conconi +5

Current X-ray telescopes have a combination of field of view and angular resolution that makes it difficult to quickly localize the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wa…

The cosmic build-up of dust and metals. Accurate abundances from GRB-selected star-forming galaxies at

K. E. Heintz, A. De Cia, C. C. Thöne +38

The chemical enrichment of dust and metals in the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies throughout cosmic time is one of the key driving processes of galaxy evolution. Here we stud…

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…

Swift/UVOT discovery of Swift J221951-484240: a UV luminous ambiguous nuclear transient

S. R. Oates, N. P. M. Kuin, M. Nicholl +57

We report the discovery of Swift J221951-484240 (hereafter: J221951), a luminous slow-evolving blue transient that was detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Ultra-violet/O…

Matter ejections behind the highs and lows of the transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038

M. C. Baglio, F. Coti Zelati, S. Campana +23

Transitional millisecond pulsars are an emerging class of sources that link low-mass X-ray binaries to millisecond radio pulsars in binary systems. These pulsars alternate between…

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…
