Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2000 ▪ Abstract The discovery of counterparts in X-ray and optical to radio wavelengths has revolutionized the study of γ-ray bursts, until recently the most enigmatic of astrophysical phenomena. We now know that γ-ray bursts are the biggest explosions in nature, caused by the ejection of ultrarelativistic matter from a powerful energy source and its ...

The Eleventh Marcel Grossmann Meeting, 2008 (Shortened) We show by example how the uncoding of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) offers unprecedented possibilities to foster new knowledge in fundamental physics and in astrophysics. After recalling some of the classic work on vacuum polarization in uniform electric fields by Klein, Sauter, Heisenberg, Euler and Schwinger, we summarize some of the efforts ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 GRB 221009A has been referred to as the brightest of all time (BOAT). We investigate the veracity of this statement by comparing it with a half century of prompt gamma-ray burst observations.

Superlong gamma-ray bursts [PDF]
Astronomy Letters, 2005 Before the BATSE/GRO launch GRBs seem to be a uniform phenomenon with duration up to about 100 seconds. The BATSE has detected many events longer than 100 s and a few longer than 500s. We performed the off-line scan of the 1024 ms continuous BATSE records and revealed several non-triggered episodes of the BATSE GRB triggers which confidently belong to ...

Physical Review D, 2017 Many theories of dark matter (DM) predict that DM particles can be captured by stars via scattering on ordinary matter. They subsequently condense into a DM core close to the center of the star and eventually annihilate. In this work, we trace DM capture and annihilation rates throughout the life of a massive star and show that this evolution ...

GAMMA RAY BURST FOLLOW-UPS WITH BOOTES
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2014 The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System (BOOTES), is a global robotic observatory network, which started in 1998 with Spanish leadership devoted to study optical emissions from gamma ray bursts (GRBs) that occur in the Universe.

GECAM Localization of High-energy Transients and the Systematic Error
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The Gravitational Wave High-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) is a pair of microsatellites (i.e., GECAM-A and GECAM-B) dedicated to monitoring gamma-ray transients including the high-energy electromagnetic counterparts of ...

Probing intrinsic properties of short gamma-ray bursts with gravitational waves [PDF]
, 2017 Progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts are thought to be neutron stars coalescing with their companion black hole or neutron star, which are one of the main gravitational wave sources. We have devised a Bayesian framework for combining gamma-ray burst and

Reports on Progress in Physics, 2006 Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe, and their origin and mechanism are the focus of intense research and debate. More than three decades after their discovery, and after pioneering breakthroughs from space and ground experiments, their study is entering a new phase with the recently launched Swift satellite. The interplay
