X-ray flares following short gamma-ray bursts from shock heating of binary stellar companions
Andrew I. MacFadyen, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Weiqun Zhang
The discovery of long-lasting (~100 s) X-ray flares following short gamma-ray bursts initially called into question whether they were truly classical short-hard bursts. Opinion ove…
Primordial binaries and intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters
M. Trenti, E. Ardi, S. Mineshige +1
We present the first study of the dynamical evolution of a star cluster that combines a significant population of primordial binaries with the presence of a central black hole. We…
The redshift distribution of gamma-ray bursts revisited
Priyamvada Natarajan, Badr Albanna, Jens Hjorth +3
In this letter, we calculate the redshift distribution of gamma-ray bursts assuming that they trace (i) the globally averaged star formation rate or (ii) the average metallicity in…
(Lack of) lensing constraints on cluster dark matter profiles
Neal Dalal, Charles R. Keeton
Using stellar dynamics and strong gravitational lensing as complementary probes, Sand et al. (2002, 2003) have recently claimed strong evidence for shallow dark matter density prof…
