The internal-collision-induced magnetic reconnection and turbulence (ICMART) model of gamma-ray bursts
The recent Fermi observation of GRB 080916C shows that the bright photosphere emission
associated with a putative fireball is missing, which suggests that the central engine likely …

Physical processes sha** gamma-ray burst X-ray afterglow light curves: theoretical implications from the Swift X-ray telescope observations
With the successful launch of the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer, a rich trove of early X-ray
afterglow data has been collected by its onboard X-Ray Telescope (XRT). Some interesting …

Gamma-ray Bursts: 50 Years and Counting!
Gamma-ray bursts were discovered by the Vela satellites in the late 1960s, but they were
announced for the first time exactly 50 years ago, in 1973. The history of our understanding …

Swift observations of GRB 070110: an extraordinary X-ray afterglow powered by the central engine
We present a detailed analysis of Swift multiwavelength observations of GRB 070110 and its
remarkable afterglow. The early X-ray light curve, interpreted as the tail of the prompt …

Gamma-ray bursts in the Swift era
Since the successful launch of NASA's dedicated gamma-ray burst (GRB) mission, Swift, the
study of cosmological GRBs has entered a new era. Here I review the rapid observational …

Testing the curvature effect and internal origin of gamma-ray burst prompt emissions and X-ray flares with Swift data
The X-ray light curves of many GRBs have a steep tail following the gamma-rays and have
some erratic flares. We assume that these tails and flares are of``internal''origin and that their …
