    • The Afterglow and Early-type Host Galaxy of the Short GRB 150101B at Z = 0.1343 

      Fong, W.; Margutti, R.; Chornock, R.; Berger, Edo; Shappee, B. J.; Levan, A. J.; Tanvir, N. R.; Smith, N.; Milne, P. A.; Laskar, T.; Fox, D. B.; Lunnan, R.; Blanchard, P. K.; Hjorth, J.; Wiersema, K.; van der Horst, A. J.; Zaritsky, D. (American Astronomical Society, 2016)
      We present the discovery of the X-ray and optical afterglows of the short-duration GRB 150101B, pinpointing the event to an early-type host galaxy at z = 0.1343±0.0030. This makes GRB 150101B the most nearby shortGRB with ...

    • The Afterglow and Environment of the Short Grb 111117a
