Issue Date: | 2014 | Journal: | SCIENCE | Number: | 343 | Issue: | 6166 | First Page: | 48 | Abstract: | Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are an extremely rare outcome of the collapse of massive stars and are typically found in the distant universe. Because of its intrinsic luminosity (L ∼ 3 × 10<SUP>53</SUP> ergs per second) and its relative proximity (z = 0.34), GRB 130427A reached the highest fluence observed in the γ-ray band. Here, we present a comprehensive multiwavelength view of GRB 130427A with Swift, the 2-meter Liverpool and Faulkes telescopes, and by other ground-based facilities, highlighting the evolution of the burst emission from the prompt to the afterglow phase. The properties of GRB 130427A are similar to those of the most luminous, high-redshift GRBs, suggesting that a common central engine is responsible for producing GRBs in both the contemporary and the early universe and over the full range of GRB isotropic energies. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34817 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.5254v3 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1242279 |
