The physics of gamma-ray bursts & relativistic jets

P Kumar, B Zhang - Physics Reports, 2015‏ - Elsevier
We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

Short-duration gamma-ray bursts

E Berger - Annual review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014‏ - annualreviews.org
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 …

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 …

GRANDMA and HXMT Observations of GRB 221009A: The Standard Luminosity Afterglow of a Hyperluminous Gamma-Ray Burst—In Gedenken an David Alexander …

DA Kann, S Agayeva, V Aivazyan… - The Astrophysical …, 2023‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Object GRB 221009A is the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected in more than 50 yr of
study. In this paper, we present observations in the X-ray and optical domains obtained by …

The protomagnetar model for gamma-ray bursts

BD Metzger, D Giannios, TA Thompson… - Monthly Notices of …, 2011‏ - academic.oup.com
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the core collapse of massive stars,
but the identity of the central engine remains elusive. Previous work has shown that rapidly …

Intrinsic spectra and energetics of bepposax gamma–ray bursts with known redshifts

L Amati, F Frontera, M Tavani, A Antonelli… - Astronomy & …, 2002‏ - aanda.org
We present the main results of a study of spectral and energetics properties of twelve
gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with redshift estimates. All GRBs in our sample were detected by …

Gamma-ray bursts

P Meszaros - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2006‏ - iopscience.iop.org
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe, and their origin and
mechanism are the focus of intense research and debate. More than three decades after …

Signals for Lorentz violation in electrodynamics

VA Kostelecký, M Mewes - Physical Review D, 2002‏ - APS
An investigation is performed of the Lorentz-violating electrodynamics extracted from the
renormalizable sector of the general Lorentz-and CPT-violating standard-model extension …

Beaming in gamma-ray bursts: evidence for a standard energy reservoir

DA Frail, SR Kulkarni, R Sari… - The Astrophysical …, 2001‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive sample of all gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows with known
distances, and we derive their conical opening angles based on observed broadband …

The dynamics and light curves of beamed gamma-ray burst afterglows

JE Rhoads - The Astrophysical Journal, 1999‏ - iopscience.iop.org
The energy requirements of gamma-ray bursts have in past been poorly constrained
because of three major uncertainties: the distances to bursts, the degree of burst beaming …
