Dark gamma-ray bursts [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical 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 ...

GRB 221009A: Discovery of an Exceptionally Rare Nearby and Energetic Gamma-Ray Burst

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report the discovery of the unusually bright long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB 221009A, as observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift), Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image, and Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer Mission.

Extending the Search for Muon Neutrinos Coincident with Gamma-Ray Bursts in IceCube Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present an all-sky search for muon neutrinos produced during the prompt γ-ray emission of 1172 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory.

Unveiling the engines of fast radio bursts, superluminous supernovae, and gamma-ray bursts [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Young, rapidly spinning magnetars are invoked as central engines behind a diverse set of transient astrophysical phenomena, including gamma-ray bursts (GRB), super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe), fast radio bursts (FRB), and binary neutron star (NS) mergers.

A Study of the Overall Evolution Behaviors of Pulses and Flares within Gamma-Ray Bursts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Many studies have shown that the X-ray flares in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have similar properties to the prompt emission pulses that occur in GRBs, suggesting that they may come from the same origin. We attempt to extend the evolution behavior that exists

Off-axis Prompt X-Ray Transients from the Cocoon of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present the results of numerical simulations of the prompt emission of short-duration gamma-ray bursts. We consider emission from the relativistic jet, the mildly relativistic cocoon, and the non-relativistic shocked ambient material. We find that the

The First JWST Spectrum of a GRB Afterglow: No Bright Supernova in Observations of the Brightest GRB of all Time, GRB 221009A

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the afterglow of GRB 221009A, the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever observed.

Afterglow Polarization from Off-axis Gamma-Ray Burst Jets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
As we further our studies on gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), via both theoretical models and observational tools, more and more options begin to open for exploration of its physical properties.

Gamma-Ray Bursts

open access: yesStars and Stellar Processes, 2016
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short periods of γ-rays (high energy light waves) that are detected on Earth. They were originally detected by satellites that were designed to watch for nuclear weapons tests on Earth. GRBs are difficult to study because they

Model Constraints Based on the IceCube Neutrino Nondetection of GRB 221009A

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
GRB 221009A is a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) with isotropic energy larger than 10 ^54 erg. Its fairly low redshift makes it a promising candidate for high-energy neutrino detection.
