The supermassive black hole coincident with the luminous transient ASASSN-15lh
T. Krühler, M. Fraser, G. Leloudas +11
The progenitors of astronomical transients are linked to a specific stellar population and galactic environment, and observing their host galaxies hence constrains the physical nat…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
A long optical plateau in the afterglow of the Extended Emission short GRB 150424A: Evidence for energy injection by a magnetar?
F. Knust, J. Greiner, H. J. van Eerten +14
Short-duration GRBs with extended emission form a subclass of short GRBs, comprising about 15% of the short-duration sample. Afterglow detections of short GRBs are also rare (about…
The Optical/NIR afterglow of GRB 111209A: Complex yet not Unprecedented
D. A. Kann, P. Schady, F. Olivares E. +24
Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are simple in the most basic model, but can show many complex features. The ultra-long duration GRB 111209A, one of the longest GRBs ever dete…
The properties of GRB 120923A at a spectroscopic redshift of z=7.8
N. R. Tanvir, T. Laskar, A. J. Levan +37
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful probes of early stars and galaxies, during and potentially even before the era of reionization. Although the number of GRBs identified at z>6 r…
