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
We present a comprehensive catalog and analysis of broadband afterglow observations for
103 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), comprised of all short GRBs from 2004 …

A lanthanide-rich kilonova in the aftermath of a long gamma-ray burst

YH Yang, E Troja, B O'Connor, CL Fryer, M Im… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
Observationally, kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of
nuclei heavier than iron, thought to be synthesized in the merger of two compact objects …

Short GRB host galaxies. II. A legacy sample of redshifts, stellar population properties, and implications for their neutron star merger origins

AE Nugent, WF Fong, Y Dong, J Leja… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the stellar population properties of 69 short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host
galaxies, representing the largest uniformly modeled sample to date. Using the Prospector …
