Discovery of the nearby long, soft GRB 100316D with an associated supernova
As first author, Starling led this work and the team of co-authors. The majority of the analysis was undertaken by Starling, specifically all Swift gamma-ray, X-ray and UV/optical data modelling, building an evolutionary picture of the blastwave, identifying a thermal spectral component and assessing the total energy budget (Sections 4,5,6,8.1,8.3). The substantial number of co-authors reflects the many different datasets that were collected from different observing facilities. Starling took the lead in drawing together these observations and their analyses to understand the physics of this unusual gamma-ray burst and supernova.
