    Observation of inverse Compton emission from a long γ-ray burst

    Long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from ultra-relativistic jets launched from the collapsing cores of dying massive stars. They are characterized by an initial phase of bright and highly variable radi...

    A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

    Observations and modelling of an optical transient counterpart to a gravitational-wave event and γ-ray burst reveal that neutron-star mergers produce gravitational waves and radioactively powered kilonovae, an...

    Correction: Corrigendum: Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions

    Nature 502, 346–349 (2013); doi:10.1038/nature12569 In this Letter, we have identified an important error affecting Fig. 4 and Extended Data Fig. 6, as well as the values of some parameters derived from our mo...

    Slowly fading super-luminous supernovae that are not pair-instability explosions

    Observations of two slow-to-fade super-luminous supernovae are reported; both show relatively fast rise times and blue colours, which are incompatible with pair-instability models.
