The Observer's Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection

Z Cano, SQ Wang, ZG Dai, XF Wu - Advances in Astronomy, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts
(GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places …

Gamma-ray burst progenitors

A Levan, P Crowther, R de Grijs, N Langer, D Xu… - Space Science …, 2016 - Springer
We review our current understanding of the progenitors of both long and short duration
gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Constraints can be derived from multiple directions, and we use …

The spectral SN-GRB connection: systematic spectral comparisons between type Ic supernovae and broad-lined type Ic supernovae with and without gamma-ray …

M Modjaz, YQ Liu, FB Bianco… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first systematic investigation of spectral properties of 17 Type Ic Supernovae
(SNe Ic), 10 broad-lined SNe Ic (SNe Ic-bl) without observed gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and …

The millisecond magnetar central engine in short GRBs

HJ Lü, B Zhang, WH Lei, Y Li… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
One favored progenitor model for short duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is the
coalescence of two neutron stars (NS–NS). One possible outcome of such a merger would …

GRB hosts through cosmic time-VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 γ-ray-burst-selected galaxies at 0.1< z< 3.6

T Krühler, D Malesani, JPU Fynbo, OE Hartoog… - Astronomy & …, 2015 - aanda.org
We present data and initial results from VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96
galaxies selected by long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) at 0.1< z< 3.6, the largest sample of GRB host …

The Afterglow of GRB 130427A from 1 to 1016 GHz

DA Perley, SB Cenko, A Corsi, NR Tanvir… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present multiwavelength observations of the afterglow of GRB 130427A, the brightest (in
total fluence) gamma-ray burst (GRB) of the past 29 yr. Optical spectroscopy from Gemini …

Signatures of a jet cocoon in early spectra of a supernova associated with a γ-ray burst

L Izzo, A de Ugarte Postigo, K Maeda, CC Thöne… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Long γ-ray bursts are associated with energetic, broad-lined, stripped-envelope
supernovae, and as such mark the death of massive stars. The scarcity of such events …

GRB 120422A/SN 2012bz: Bridging the gap between low-and high-luminosity gamma-ray bursts

S Schulze, D Malesani, A Cucchiara, NR Tanvir… - Astronomy & …, 2014 - aanda.org
Context. At low redshift, a handful of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been discovered with
luminosities that are substantially lower (L iso≲ 10 48.5 erg s-1) than the average of more …

Global fits in the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model

O Eberhardt, AP Martínez, A Pich - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We present the results of a global fit to the Aligned Two-Higgs Doublet Model,
assuming that there are no new sources of CP violation beyond the quark mixing matrix. We …

The X-shooter GRB afterglow legacy sample (XS-GRB)

J Selsing, D Malesani, P Goldoni, JPU Fynbo… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
In this work we present spectra of all γ-ray burst (GRB) afterglows that have been promptly
observed with the X-shooter spectrograph until 31/03/2017. In total, we have obtained …
