Properties of High-Redshift GRBs
Chris L. Fryer, Amy Y. Lien, Andrew Fruchter +5
The immense power of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) make them ideal probes of the early universe. By using absorption lines in the afterglows of high-redshift GRBs, astronomers can study…
Radio Loud vs. Radio Quiet Gamma-ray Bursts: the Role of Binary Progenitors
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning
We explore the possibility that radio loud gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) result from the collapse of massive stars in interacting binary systems, while radio quiet GRBs are produced by t…
Kilonova Detectability with Wide-Field Instruments
Eve A. Chase, Brendan O'Connor, Christopher L. Fryer +7
Kilonovae are ultraviolet, optical, and infrared transients powered by the radioactive decay of heavy elements following a neutron star merger. Joint observations of kilonovae and…
Evidence that Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Rays are a Universal Feature Near Powerful Pulsars
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +97
The highest-energy known gamma-ray sources are all located within 0.5 degrees of extremely powerful pulsars. This raises the question of whether ultra-high-energy (UHE; 56 TeV)…
