Reverse Shocks in Short Gamma-Ray Bursts -- The case of GRB 160821B and prospects as gravitational-wave counterparts
Gavin P Lamb
The shock system that produces the afterglow to GRBs consists of a forward- and a reverse-shock. For short GRBs, observational evidence for a reverse-shock has been sparse, however…
GRB 170817A as a Refreshed Shock Afterglow viewed off-axis
Gavin P. Lamb, Andrew J. Levan, Nial R. Tanvir
Energy injection into the external shock system that generates the afterglow to a gamma-ray burst (GRB) can result in a re-brightening of the emission. Here we investigate the off-…
The Rate of Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts in the local Universe
Soheb Mandhai, Nial Tanvir, Gavin Lamb +2
The binary neutron star merger responsible for the gravitational wave event, GW170817, strengthened the merger association with short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) following th…
An unusual transient following the short GRB 071227
R. A. J. Eyles, P. T. O'Brien, K. Wiersema +7
We present X-ray and optical observations of the short duration gamma-ray burst GRB 071227 and its host at , obtained using \textit{Swift}, Gemini South and the Very Large…
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…
Reverse Shocks in the Relativistic Outflows of Gravitational Wave Detected Neutron Star Binary Mergers
Gavin P Lamb, Shiho Kobayashi
The afterglows to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are due to synchrotron emission from shocks generated as an ultra-relativistic outflow decelerates. A forward and a reverse shock will for…
