We observed the fast-fading hostless transient ZTF21aaeyldq (Ho et al., GCN #29305) with OSIRIS at the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain), starting at 2021-01-16 23:35:54.359 UT (16.60 hours after the first optical detection). The source is clearly detected. We obtained a 60 s...

We observed again the optical afterglow of GRB 210112A (Swfit detection: Ambrosi et al., GCN #29289; AGILE Detection: Ursi et al., GCN #29293) with the 1.5m telescope of the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada (OSN), Granada, Spain. We obtained 3 x 450 s exposures in B, V, Rc each, and 8 x 150 s in Ic, between 2021-01-13 04:29:28.99 and 2021-01-13...

We observed the optical afterglow of GRB 210112A (Swfit detection: Ambrosi et al., GCN #29289; AGILE Detection: Ursi et al., GCN #29293) with the 1.5m telescope of the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada (OSN), Granada, Spain. We obtained 12 x 90 s exposures in B, Rc, Ic and 11 x 90 s in V, between 2021-01-12 04:03:22.52 and 2021-01-12 05:21:34.99...

The supernovae (SNe) associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are generally seen as a homogenous population, but at least one exception exists, both in terms of luminosity as well as Spectral Energy Distribution (SED). However, this event, SN 2011kl, was associated with an ultra-long GRB 111209A. Do such outliers also exist for more typical...

We present a detailed analysis of short GRB 201221D lying at redshift $z= 1.045$. We analyse the high-energy data of the burst and compare it with the sample of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). The prompt emission characteristics are typical of those seen in the case of other SGRBs except for the peak energy ($E_{\rm p}$), which lies at the...

GRBs produced by the collapse of massive stars are usually found near the most prominent star-forming regions of star-forming galaxies. GRB 171205A happened in the outskirts of a spiral galaxy, a peculiar location in an atypical GRB host. In this paper we present a highly-resolved study of the molecular gas of this host, with CO(1-0)...

Short Gamma-Ray Bursts (SGRBs) are produced by the coalescence of compact binary systems which are remnants of massive stars. GRB 160410A is classified as a short-duration GRB with extended emission and is currently the farthest SGRB with a redshift determined from an afterglow spectrum and also one of the brightest SGRBs to date. The fast...

Abstract We present radio and optical afterglow observations of the TeV-bright long Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) 190114C at a redshift of z = 0.425, which was detected by the MAGIC telescope. Our observations with ALMA, ATCA, and uGMRT were obtained by our low frequency observing campaign and range from ∼1 to ∼140 days after the burst and the optical...

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 accompanying supernova to $M_I > -13$ mag at 17.7 days post-burst, the identification of a kilonova confirms that this burst's progenitor was a compact object merger....

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 spectroscopic follow-up in the optical and near-infrared (NIR), covering both the prompt and afterglow emission from a few minutes up to 20 Ms after burst. With an...

We observed GRB 190114C (redshift z = 0.4245), the first gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever detected at TeV energies, at optical and near-infrared wavelengths with several ground-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope, with the primary goal of studying its underlying supernova, SN 2019jrj. The monitoring spanned the time interval between 1.3...
