The supernova of the MAGIC GRB190114C
A. Melandri, L. Izzo, E. Pian +42
We observed GRB190114C (redshift z = 0.4245), the first GRB ever detected at TeV energies, at optical and near-infrared wavelengths with several ground-based telescopes and the Hub…
Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, Om Sharan Salafia +52
The discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. Rapid identification…
Are Interactions with Neutron Star Merger Winds Shaping the Jets?
Lorenzo Nativi, Gavin P. Lamb, Stephan Rosswog +2
Jets can become collimated as they propagate through dense environments and understanding such interactions is crucial for linking physical models of the environments to observatio…
A Bayesian Inference Framework for Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Properties
En-Tzu Lin, Fergus Hayes, Gavin P. Lamb +5
In the field of multi-messenger astronomy, Bayesian inference is commonly adopted to compare the compatibility of models given the observed data. However, to describe a physical sy…
Exploring compact binary merger host galaxies and environments with
S. Mandhai, G. P. Lamb, N. R. Tanvir +5
Compact binaries such as double neutron stars or a neutron star paired with a black-hole, are strong sources of gravitational waves during coalescence and also the likely progenito…
Inclination estimates from off-axis GRB afterglow modelling
Gavin P Lamb, Joseph J Fernández, Fergus Hayes +7
For gravitational wave (GW) detected neutron star mergers, one of the leading candidates for electromagnetic (EM) counterparts is the afterglow from an ultra-relativistic jet. Wher…
Low-efficiency long gamma-ray bursts: A case study with AT2020blt
Nikhil Sarin, Rachel Hamburg, Eric Burns +3
The Zwicky Transient Facility recently announced the detection of an optical transient AT2020blt at redshift , consistent with the afterglow of an on-axis gamma-ray burst. H…
Multi-Messenger Astrophysics with THESEUS in the 2030s
Riccardo Ciolfi, Giulia Stratta, Marica Branchesi +63
Multi-messenger astrophysics is becoming a major avenue to explore the Universe, with the potential to span a vast range of redshifts. The growing synergies between different probe…
GRB jet structure and the jet break
Gavin P Lamb, D. Alexander Kann, Joseph John Fernández +3
We investigate the shape of the jet break in within-beam gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical afterglows for various lateral jet structure profiles. We consider cases with and without lat…
Lateral spreading effects on VLBI radio images of neutron star merger jets
Joseph John Fernández, Shiho Kobayashi, Gavin P. Lamb
Very long base interferometry (VLBI) radio images recently proved to be essential in breaking the degeneracy in the ejecta model for the neutron star merger GW170817. We discuss th…
