Grandma: a network to coordinate them all
S. Agayeva, S. Alishov, S. Antier +75
GRANDMA is an international project that coordinates telescope observations of transient sources with large localization uncertainties. Such sources include gravitational wave even…
The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts II: New FRB discoveries and their follow-up
S. Bhandari, E. F. Keane, E. D. Barr +47
We report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts (SUPERB) at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs 150610, 15120…
Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programs
I. Andreoni, K. Ackley, J. Cooke +122
The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era…
The Zadko Telescope: Exploring the transient Universe
D. M. Coward, B. Gendre, P. Tanga +11
The Zadko Telescope is a 1 m f/4 Cassegrain telescope, situated in the state of Western Australia about 80 km north of Perth. The facility plays a niche role in Australian astronom…
Hunting Gravitational Waves with Multi-Messenger Counterparts: Australia's Role
E. J. Howell, A. Rowlinson, D. M. Coward +12
The first observations by a worldwide network of advanced interferometric gravitational wave detectors offer a unique opportunity for the astronomical community. At design sensitiv…
Optical and X-ray early follow-up of ANTARES neutrino alerts
S. Adrian-Martinez, M. Ageron, A. Albert +137
High-energy neutrinos could be produced in the interaction of charged cosmic rays with matter or radiation surrounding astrophysical sources. Even with the recent detection of extr…
Fall back accretion and energy injections in gamma-ray bursts
Y. B. Yu, X. F. Wu, Y. F. Huang +4
Intense flares that occur at late times relative to the prompt phase have been observed by the satellite in the X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Here, we presen…
The Potential for Detecting Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows from Population III Stars with the Next Generation of Infrared Telescopes
Damien Macpherson, D. M. Coward, M. G. Zadnik
We investigate the detectability of a proposed population of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) from the collapse of Population III (Pop III) stars. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and…
Search for long-lived gravitational-wave transients coincident with long gamma-ray bursts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +875
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been linked to extreme core-collapse supernovae from massive stars. Gravitational waves (GW) offer a probe of the physics behind long GRBs. We inv…
The diversity of progenitors and emission mechanisms for ultra-long bursts
B. Gendre, G. Stratta, J. L. Atteia +10
GRB 111209A is the longest ever recorded burst. This burst was detected by Swift and Konus-Wind, and we obtained TOO time from XMM-Newton as well as prompt data from TAROT. We made…
The ultra-long GRB 111209A - II. Prompt to afterglow and afterglow properties
G. Stratta, B. Gendre, J. L. Atteia +7
The "ultra-long" Gamma Ray Burst GRB 111209A at redshift z=0.677, is so far the longest GRB ever observed, with rest frame prompt emission duration of ~4 hours. In order to explain…
Using temporal distributions of transient events to characterize cosmological source populations
E. Howell, D. Coward, R. Burman +1
The brightest events in a time series of cosmological transients obey an observation time dependence which is often overlooked. This dependence can be exploited to probe the global…
Are GRB optical afterglows relatively brighter at high z?
A. Imerito, D. M. Coward, R. R. Burman +1
The redshift distribution of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is strongly biased by selection effects. We investigate, via Monte Carlo simulations, one possible selection effect that may be…
