The first JWST spectrum of a GRB afterglow: No bright supernova in observations of the brightest GRB of all time, GRB 221009A

Levan, A.J Lamb, G.P Schneider, B

We present JWST and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the afterglow of GRB 221009A, the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed. Observations obtained with NIRSPEC (0.6-5.5 micron) and MIRI (5-12 micron) 12 days after the burst are the first mid-IR spectroscopy performed for a GRB. Assuming the underlying slope is that of a...
