About
A. Nicuesa Guelbenzu is an astrophysicist specializing in the multi-wavelength study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly their afterglow emissions and the elusive nature of “dark” bursts. Her research bridges X-ray, optical, and radio observations to unravel the complex physics of these extreme cosmic explosions. A key contribution is her analysis of GRB 210731A, where she identified a rare triple-peaked afterglow from X-ray to radio frequencies, providing new insights into the progenitor’s environment and energy injection processes (7 citations). She has also led the characterization of the dark GRB 150309A, demonstrating through multi-wavelength data that its faintness is due to dust extinction rather than a high redshift, a finding that helps clarify the origins of dark GRBs (7 citations). Her work leverages facilities like Swift, Fermi, and MeerLICHT, showcasing her skill in coordinating rapid-response observations. With over 14 citations on these flagship papers, Guelbenzu is advancing our understanding of GRB afterglow diversity and the interstellar medium’s role in shaping their visibility.
