Polarimetry of relativistic tidal disruption event Swift J2058+0516
K. Wiersema, A. B. Higgins, A. J. Levan +8
A small fraction of candidate tidal disruption events (TDEs) show evidence of powerful relativistic jets, which are particularly pronounced at radio wavelengths, and likely contrib…
Short GRB 160821B: a reverse shock, a refreshed shock, and a well-sampled kilonova
G. P. Lamb, N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan +31
We report our identification of the optical afterglow and host galaxy of the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 160821B. The spectroscopic redshift of the host is , making…
Detailed multi-wavelength modelling of the dark GRB 140713A and its host galaxy
A. B. Higgins, A. J. van der Horst, R. L. C. Starling +8
We investigate the afterglow of GRB 140713A, a gamma-ray burst (GRB) that was detected and relatively well-sampled at X-ray and radio wavelengths, but was not present at optical an…
ALMA and GMRT constraints on the off-axis gamma-ray burst 170817A from the binary neutron star merger GW170817
Sam Kim, Steve Schulze, Lekshmi Resmi +31
Binary neutron-star mergers (BNSMs) are among the most readily detectable gravitational-wave (GW) sources with LIGO. They are also thought to produce short -ray bursts (SGRBs),…
The unpolarized macronova associated with the gravitational wave event GW170817
S. Covino, K. Wiersema, Y. Z. Fan +37
The merger of two dense stellar remnants including at least one neutron star (NS) is predicted to produce gravitational waves (GWs) and short duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs). In t…
Investigating the nature of INTEGRAL Gamma-ray Bursts and sub-threshold triggers with Swift follow up
A. B. Higgins, R. L. C. Starling, D. Götz +9
We explore the potential of INTEGRAL to improve our understanding of the low fluence regime for explosive transients, such as GRBs. We probe the nature of the so-called "WEAK" INTE…
