Abstract
Radio observations of gamma-ray burst afterglows provide insight in to the different emitting regions within the jet, its hydrodynamics and burst environment.
In this paper, we present the second iteration of the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager -- Large Array (AMI--LA) Gamma-ray burst (GRB) radio afterglow catalog.
The catalog consists of 1035 observations of 210 bursts. Our observations range from 0.04 to 900days post-burst. We detect radio emission associated with
19 events with flux densities spanning 0.1-40mJy, and present a detailed analysis of six events whose light curves have not been published elsewhere.
In our individual afterglow analyses, we find that our radio counterparts show evidence of reverse shock emission 60% of the time.
Two of the detected afterglows show evidence of scintillation which we use to place source size limits at tens of days. Of the whole catalog,
50 events have redshift measurements which we use to find the radio afterglow luminosity distribution for our sample. Our luminosity distribution spans five orders of magnitude,
a larger range than seen in optical and X-ray bands, indicative of the strong dependence of the radio counterparts on the GRB's physical parameters.
The data tables will be here soon!
