Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) display a bimodal duration distribution with a separation between the short- and long-duration bursts at about 2 s. The progenitors of long GRBs have been identified as massive stars based on their association with Type Ic core ...

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.

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.

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.

Short Gamma Ray Bursts as possible electromagnetic counterpart of coalescing binary systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Coalescing binary systems, consisting of two collapsed objects, are among the most promising sources of high frequency gravitational waves signals detectable, in principle, by ground-based interferometers.

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 ...

Very-high-energy Gamma-Ray Afterglows of GRB 201015A and GRB 201216C

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Relativistic Conic Beams and Spatial Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We study the statistics of gamma-ray bursts, assuming that gamma-ray bursts are cosmological and they are beamed in the form of a conical jet with a large bulk Lorentz factor $\sim 100$.
