The Observer's Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection

Z Cano, SQ Wang, ZG Dai, XF Wu - Advances in Astronomy, 2017‏ - Wiley Online Library
We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts
(GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places …

The supernova–gamma-ray burst connection

SE Woosley, JS Bloom - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006‏ - annualreviews.org
Observations show that at least some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) happen simultaneously
with core-collapse supernovae (SNe), thus linking by a common thread nature's two …

The Swift gamma-ray burst mission

N Gehrels, G Chincarini, PE Giommi… - The Astrophysical …, 2004‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The Swift mission, scheduled for launch in 2004, is a multiwavelength observatory for
gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy. It is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite …

Long γ-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments

AS Fruchter, AJ Levan, L Strolger, PM Vreeswijk… - Nature, 2006‏ - nature.com
When massive stars exhaust their fuel, they collapse and often produce the extraordinarily
bright explosions known as core-collapse supernovae. On occasion, this stellar collapse …

The collimation-corrected gamma-ray burst energies correlate with the peak energy of their νFν spectrum

G Ghirlanda, G Ghisellini, D Lazzati - The Astrophysical Journal, 2004‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We consider all bursts with known redshift and νF ν peak energy, E. For a good fraction of
them an estimate of the jet opening angle is available from the achromatic break of their …

[ספר][B] Neutrino physics

K Zuber - 2020‏ - library.oapen.org
When Kai Zuber's pioneering text on neutrinos was published in 2003, the author correctly
predicted that the field would see tremendous growth in the immediate future. In that book …

The gamma-ray burst-supernova connection

J Hjorth, JS Bloom - arxiv preprint arxiv:1104.2274, 2011‏ - arxiv.org
A preponderance of evidence links long-duration, soft-spectrum gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)
with the death of massive stars. The observations of the GRB-supernova (SN) connection …

Low-luminosity gamma-ray bursts as a unique population: luminosity function, local rate, and beaming factor

E Liang, B Zhang, F Virgili, ZG Dai - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Swift BAT has detected~ 200 long-duration GRBs, with redshift measurements for~ 50 of
them. We derive the luminosity function (Φ HL) and the local event rate (ρ) of the …

SN 2003lw and GRB 031203: A bright supernova for a faint gamma-ray burst

D Malesani, G Tagliaferri, G Chincarini… - The Astrophysical …, 2004‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Optical and near-infrared observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 031203, at z= 0.1055,
are reported. A very faint afterglow is detected superposed onto the host galaxy in our first …

Measured metallicities at the sites of nearby broad-lined type Ic supernovae and implications for the supernovae gamma-ray burst connection

M Modjaz, L Kewley, RP Kirshner… - The Astronomical …, 2008‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We compare the chemical abundances at the sites of 12 nearby (z< 0.14) Type Ic
supernovae (SN Ic) that showed broad lines, but had no observed gamma-ray burst (GRB) …
