JWST Spectroscopy of GRB 250702B: An Extremely Rare and Exceptionally Energetic Burst in a Dusty, Massive Galaxy at

Benjamin P. Gompertz, Andrew J. Levan, Tanmoy Laskar +25

We present follow-up observations of the day-long, repeating GRB 250702B with the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Through the i…

Discovery and Analysis of Afterglows from Poorly Localised GRBs with the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) All-sky Survey

Amit Kumar, B. P. Gompertz, B. Schneider +86

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose a challenge for optical follow-up due to their large initial localisation…

GRB 240825A: Early Reverse Shock and Its Physical Implications

Chao Wu, Yun Wang, Hua-Li Li +84

Early multiwavelength observations offer crucial insights into the nature of the relativistic jets responsible for gamma-ray bursts and their interaction with the surrounding mediu…

JWST reveals a supernova following a gamma-ray burst at z 7.3

A. J. Levan, B. Schneider, E. Le Floc'h +50

The majority of energetic long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to arise from the collapse of massive stars, making them powerful tracers of star formation across cosmi…

SVOM GRB 250314A at z 7.3: an exploding star in the era of reionization

B. Cordier, J. Y. Wei, N. R. Tanvir +103

Most long Gamma-ray bursts originate from a rare type of massive stellar explosion. Their afterglows, while rapidly fading, can be initially extremely luminous at optical/near-infr…

GRB 241105A: A test case for GRB classification and rapid r-process nucleosynthesis channels

Dimple, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +85

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer a powerful window to probe the progenitor systems responsible for the formation of heavy elements through the rapid neutron capture (r-) process, than…

A large, chemically enriched, neutral gas reservoir in a galaxy at z = 6.782

A. Saccardi, S. D. Vergani, L. Izzo +23

The chemical characterization of galaxies in the first billion years after the Big Bang is one of the central goals of current astrophysics. Optical/near-infrared spectroscopy of l…

The kangaroo's first hop: the early fast cooling phase of EP250108a/SN 2025kg

Rob A. J. Eyles-Ferris, Peter G. Jonker, Andrew J. Levan +52

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a rare and poorly understood population of events. Previously difficult to detect in real time, the launch of the Einstein Probe with its wide fiel…
