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 ...

Stripping Model for Short Gamma-Ray Bursts in Neutron Star Mergers
Particles, 2022 We overview the current status of the stripping model for short gamma-ray bursts. After the historical joint detection of the gravitational wave event GW170817 and the accompanying gamma-ray burst GRB170817A, the relation between short gamma-ray bursts ...

A Decade of Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by Fermi-LAT: The Second GRB Catalog [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the Fermi spacecraft routinely observes high-energy emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Here we present the second catalog of LAT-detected GRBs, covering the first 10 yr of operations, from 2008 to 2018 August 4 ...

Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitors [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2016 We review our current understanding of the progenitors of both long and short duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Constraints can be derived from multiple directions, and we use three distinct strands; i) direct observations of GRBs and their host galaxies, ii) parameters derived from modeling, both via population synthesis and direct numerical ...

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 ...

Very-high-energy Gamma-Ray Afterglows of GRB 201015A and GRB 201216C
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) 201015A and 201216C are valuable cases where very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray afterglows have been detected. By analyzing their prompt emission data, we find that GRB 201216C is an extremely energetic, long GRB with a hard gamma ...

The afterglows of gamma-ray bursts [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000 Gamma-ray burst astronomy has undergone a revolution in the last three years, spurred by the discovery of fading long-wavelength counterparts. We now know that at least the long duration GRBs lie at cosmological distances with estimated electromagnetic energy release of 10**51 -- 10**53 erg, making these the brightest explosions in the Universe.

Millisecond Magnetar Birth Connects FRB 121102 to Superluminous Supernovae and Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]
, 2017 Subarcsecond localization of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 revealed its coincidence with a dwarf host galaxy and a steady (“quiescent”) nonthermal radio source.

Revisiting the Spectral Energy Correlations of GRBs with Fermi Data. I. Model-wise Properties
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit a diversity of spectra. Several spectral models (e.g., Band, cutoff power law (CPL), and blackbody) and their hybrid versions (e.g., Band+blackbody) have been widely used to fit the observed GRB spectra.
