The physics of gamma-ray bursts

T Piran - Reviews of modern physics, 2004 - APS
Gamma-ray bursts (GRB's), short and intense pulses of low-energy γ rays, have fascinated
astronomers and astrophysicists since their unexpected discovery in the late sixties. During …

Gamma-ray bursts in the Swift era

B Zhang - Chinese Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

On the sensitivity of the HAWC observatory to gamma-ray bursts

AU Abeysekara, JA Aguilar, S Aguilar, R Alfaro… - Astroparticle …, 2012 - Elsevier
We present the sensitivity of HAWC to gamma ray bursts (GRBs). HAWC is a very high-
energy gamma-ray observatory currently under construction in Mexico at an altitude of …

R Abbasi, Y Abdou, T Abu-Zayyad… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the results of searches for high-energy muon neutrinos from 41 gamma-ray
bursts (GRBs) in the northern sky with the IceCube detector in its 22 string configuration …

High-energy emission from gamma-ray bursts

L Nava - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2018 - World Scientific
The number of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected at high energies (∼ 0. 1− 1 0 0 GeV) has
seen a rapid increase over the last decade, thanks to observations from the Fermi-Large …

The cosmological impact of luminous TeV blazars. II. Rewriting the thermal history of the intergalactic medium

P Chang, AE Broderick, C Pfrommer - The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The universe is opaque to extragalactic very high energy gamma rays (VHEGRs, E> 100
GeV) because they annihilate and pair produce on the extragalactic background light. The …

High-energy cosmic rays from γ-ray bursts

SD Wick, CD Dermer, A Atoyan - Astroparticle Physics, 2004 - Elsevier
A model is proposed for the origin of cosmic rays (CRs) from∼ 1014 eV/nucleon to the
highest energies (≳ 1020 eV). GRBs are assumed to inject CR protons and ions into the …

[HTML][HTML] The Detection of GRBs at VHE: A Challenge Lasting for More than Two Decades, What Is Next?

A Berti, A Carosi - Galaxies, 2022 - mdpi.com
Unveiling the mystery of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been the target of many multi-
waveband observational and theoretical efforts during the last decades. The results …
