A kilonova following a long-duration gamma-ray burst at 350 Mpc

JC Rastinejad, BP Gompertz, AJ Levan, W Fong… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are divided into two populations,; long GRBs that derive from the
core collapse of massive stars (for example, ref.) and short GRBs that form in the merger of …

The host galaxy and redshift of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102

SP Tendulkar, CG Bassa, JM Cordes… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The precise localization of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB 121102) has provided the first
unambiguous association (chance coincidence probability p≲ 3× 10− 4) of an FRB with an …

A decade of short-duration gamma-ray burst broadband afterglows: energetics, circumburst densities, and jet opening angles

W Fong, E Berger, R Margutti… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
