This repository hosts the data and code for the GRBSN webtool. This tool was developed to allow astronomers to more easily share and evaluate data for GRB-SN associations, by bringing many sources and types of data together in one place.
The GRBSN webtool was created by Gabriel Finneran, Laura Cotter and Antonio Martin-Carrillo at University College Dublin. An in depth look at the tool can be found in this paper.
To get in touch please email Gabriel Finneran at gabriel.finneran@ucdconnect.ie
If your work has made use of the GRBSN webtool, please cite this paper. We would also appreciate if you could add the following acknowledgement (or similar) to your work:
This research has made use of the GRBSN webtool, available at https://grbsn.watchertelescope.ie
If you are aware of any missing observations, erroneous data or additional bulk data (e.g. isotropic energy/magnitude) for any of the events in the catalogue you can log this as an issue here.
If there is an association which has been confirmed and is missing from the tool you can log this as an issue here.
If you have data from your own observations or publications for any of these associations that you wish to upload you can do so by following these steps:
- Fork this repository.
- Format your files accoring to these instructions. An example file is shown here:

Upload your files to the source folder for the relevant GRB-SN. These source files can be found at Webtool/static/SourceData.
-
Ensure that the
readme.txtfile for the GRB-SN is updated correctly after data is added. This file contains the filename, the source (e.g. a NASA ADS link to the paper), the type of data (e.g. Radio) and any notes associated with the data. An example is shown here:

Notes: VLA and WSRT Observations of the GRB 030329 Radio Afterglow at 5 GHz
Notes: The data were taken under VLA project codes AF414^1, AK583^2, AS864^3, and TYP100^4, and WSRT sequence numbers 10502389^5, 10506025^6, and 10602115^7. WSRT data appearing in this table correspond to data from van der Horst et al. (2005, 2008) that were re-analyzed to ensure uniformity of analysis across all data points.
