The luminous host galaxy, faint supernova and rapid afterglow rebrightening of GRB 100418A

The luminous host galaxy, faint supernova and rapid afterglow rebrightening of GRB 100418A

Long gamma-ray bursts give us the chance to study both their extreme physics and the star-forming galaxies in which they form. GRB 100418A, at a z = 0.6239, had a bright optical and radio afterglow, and a luminous star-forming host galaxy. This allowed us to study the radiation of the …
