The case for a minute-long merger-driven gamma-ray burst from fast-cooling synchrotron emission
B. P. Gompertz, M. E. Ravasio, M. Nicholl +12
For decades, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been broadly divided into `long'- and `short'-duration bursts, lasting more or less than 2s, respectively. However, this dichotomy does no…
A Kilonova Following a Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst at 350 Mpc
J. C. Rastinejad, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +32
Here, we report the discovery of a kilonova associated with the nearby (350 Mpc) minute-duration GRB 211211A. In tandem with deep optical limits that rule out the presence of an ac…
A blast from the infant Universe: the very high-z GRB 210905A
A. Rossi, D. D. Frederiks, D. A. Kann +52
We present a detailed follow-up of the very energetic GRB 210905A at a high redshift of z = 6.312 and its luminous X-ray and optical afterglow. We obtained a photometric and spectr…
Inhomogeneous Jets from Neutron Star Mergers: One Jet to Rule them all
Gavin P Lamb, Lorenzo Nativi, Stephan Rosswog +4
Using the resultant profiles from 3D hydrodynamic simulations of relativistic jets interacting with neutron star merger wind ejecta, we show how the inhomogeneity of energy and vel…
