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…
A multi-wavelength analysis of a collection of short-duration GRBs observed between 2012-2015
S. B. Pandey, Y. Hu, A. J. Castro-Tirado +71
We investigate the prompt emission and the afterglow properties of short duration gamma-ray burst (sGRB) 130603B and another eight sGRB events during 2012-2015, observed by several…
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…
