Small-Angle Scattering of X-Rays from Extragalactic Sources by Dust in Intervening Galaxies [PDF]
, 1998 Gamma-ray bursts are now known to be a cosmological population of objects, which are often accompanied by X-ray and optical afterglows. The total energy emitted in the afterglow can be similar to the energy radiated in the gamma-ray burst itself.

Gamma-Ray Burst Prompt Correlations
Advances in Astronomy, 2018 The mechanism responsible for the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still a debated issue. The prompt phase-related GRB correlations can allow discriminating among the most plausible theoretical models explaining this emission.

Gamma-Ray Burst Energetics [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 We estimate the fraction of the total energy in a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) that is radiated in photons during the main burst. Random internal collisions among different shells limit the efficiency for converting bulk kinetic energy to photons. About 1% of the energy of explosion is converted to radiation, in 10-1000 kev energy band in the observer frame ...

Light speed variation from gamma ray burst GRB 160509A
Physics Letters B, 2016 It is postulated in Einstein's relativity that the speed of light in vacuum is a constant for all observers. However, the effect of quantum gravity could bring an energy dependence of light speed.

Present and future gamma-ray burst experiments [PDF]
, 1998 Gamma-ray burst counterpart studies require small, prompt error boxes. Today, there are several missions which can provide them: BeppoSAX, the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer, and the 3rd Interplanetary Network.

Afterglows as Diagnostics of Gamma Ray Burst Beaming [PDF]
, 1997 If gamma ray bursts are highly collimated, radiating into only a small fraction of the sky, the energy requirements of each event may be reduced by several (up to 4 - 6) orders of magnitude, and the event rate increased correspondingly. The large Lorentz

Polarized Emission from Gamma-Ray Burst Jets
Galaxies, 2017 I review how polarization signals have been discussed in the research field of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). I mainly discuss two subjects in which polarimetry enables us to study the nature of relativistic jets.

Swift Pointing and Gravitational-Wave Bursts from Gamma-Ray Burst Events
, 2003 The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar-mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with the black-hole formation, and their detection would permit this model to ...

X-ray afterglow detection of the short gamma-ray burst 991014 [PDF]
, 2000 GRB 991014 is one of the shortest gamma-ray bursts detected so far with the Wide Field Cameras aboard BeppoSAX, both in gamma-rays and X-rays. The duration is 9.6 sec in 2-28 keV and 3.2 sec in 40 to 700 keV (as measured between the times when 5 and 95 ...
