The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager catalogue of gamma-ray burst afterglows at 15.7 GHz

Abstract: We present the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI) Large Array catalogue of 139 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). AMI observes at a central frequency of 15.7 GHz and is equipped with a fully automated rapid-response mode, which enables the telescope to respond to highenergy transients detected by Swift. On receiving a transient alert, AMI can be on-target within two minutes, scheduling later start times if the source is below the horizon. Further AMI observations are manually scheduled for several days following the tri… Show more

“…On responding to the Swift-BAT trigger of GRB 140713A, AMI was observing the event within 6 min for 2 hrs, obtaining a 3σ flux upper-limit of 0.27 mJy. Followup observations were manually scheduled and obtained every few days for over 2 months, with the first confirmed detection occurring 3.19 d post-burst (Anderson et al 2018). AMI data were reduced using the AMIsurvey software package (Staley & Anderson 2015c), which utilises the AMI specific data reduction software ami-reduce (Dickinson et al 2004) and chimenea, which is built upon the Common Astronomy Software Application (CASA; Jaeger 2008) package and specifically designed to clean and image multi-epoch transient data (Staley & Anderson 2015a,b).…”

“…As part of a GRB afterglow followup campaign (Anderson et al 2018) we began observing GRB 171010A using the AMI-LA at T 0 + 1.27 d. An initial 4 hour observation was conducted at a central frequency of 15.5 GHz with a 5 GHz bandwidth spread over 4096 channels. Data were reduced using the Common Astronomical Software Applications ( ) package with a custom reduction pipeline, which flagged the data for radio frequency interference and instrumental effects, and calibrated the flux, bandpass and phases.…”

“…The VO network and the VOEvent framework are developed and maintained by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA). A number of tools and libraries have been developed using the IVOA standard to interface with the network and facilitate use by the community such as the Comet broker system 3 [1] and the 4 Pi Sky transient research project 4 [2]. These systems are currently used by many transient facilities, such as the Neil Gehrels Swift satellite which communicates new gamma ray burst (GRB) detections via VOEvent which can be subsequently followed up at other facilities [3].…”
