Passage of a Gamma-Ray Burst Through a Molecular Cloud: The Absorption of its Afterglow in the X-ray Wavelength Range
Aleksandr Nesterenok
We study the absorption of a gamma-ray burst afterglow in a dense molecular cloud in the X-ray wavelength range. We report the results of numerical simulations of the propagation o…
Passage of a Gamma-Ray Burst Through a Molecular Cloud: Cloud Ionization Structure
Aleksandr Nesterenok
The model is constructed of the propagation of gamma-ray burst radiation through a dense molecular cloud. The main processes of the interaction of the radiation with the interstell…
Phase diagrams of binary ionic mixtures and white dwarf cooling
D. A. Baiko
Phase diagrams of fully ionized binary ionic mixtures are considered within the framework of the linear mixing formalism taking into account recent advances in understanding quantu…
Identification of a Local Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts Consistent with a Magnetar Giant Flare Origin
E. Burns, D. Svinkin, K. Hurley +23
Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to arise from distinct progenitor channels: short GRBs mostly from neutron star mergers and long GRBs from a rare type of core-collap…
Central compact objects in Kes 79 and RCW 103 as "hidden" magnetars with crustal activity
S. B. Popov, A. A. Kaurov, A. D. Kaminker
We propose that observations of "hidden" magnetars in central compact objects can be used to probe crustal activity of neutron stars with large internal magnetic fields. Estimates…
The Needle in the 100 deg2 Haystack: Uncovering Afterglows of Fermi GRBs with the Palomar Transient Factory
Leo P. Singer, Mansi M. Kasliwal, S. Bradley Cenko +32
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has greatly expanded the number and energy window of observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, the coarse localizations of tens to a hun…
A search for giant flares from soft gamma-repeaters in nearby galaxies in the Konus-Wind short burst sample
D. S. Svinkin, K. Hurley, R. L. Aptekar +2
The knowledge of the rate of soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) giant flares is important for understanding the giant flare mechanism and the SGR energy budget in the framework of the m…
GROND coverage of the main peak of Gamma-Ray Burst 130925A
J. Greiner, H. -F. Yu, T. Krühler +23
Prompt or early optical emission in gamma-ray bursts is notoriously difficult to measure, and observations of the dozen cases show a large variety of properties. Yet, such early em…
HO Maser Pumping: The Effect of Quasi-Resonance Energy Transfer in Collisions between H and HO Molecules
A. V. Nesterenok, D. A. Varshalovich
The effect of quasi-resonance energy transfer in collisions between H and HO molecules in HO maser sources is investigated. New data on the state-to-state rate coeffici…
Thermal emission of neutron stars with internal heaters
A. D. Kaminker, A. A. Kaurov, A. Y. Potekhin +1
Using 1D and 2D cooling codes we study thermal emission from neutron stars with steady state internal heaters of various intensities and geometries (blobs or spherical layers) loca…
Magnetic field amplification in nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration including resonant and non-resonant cosmic-ray driven instabilities
Andrei M. Bykov, Donald C. Ellison, Sergei M. Osipov +1
We present a nonlinear Monte Carlo model of efficient diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) where the magnetic turbulence responsible for particle diffusion is calculated self-consist…
Optical Follow-Up Observations of PTF10qts, a Luminous Broad-Lined Type Ic Supernova Found by the Palomar Transient Factory
E. S. Walker, P. A. Mazzali, E. Pian +22
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SNIc-BL) PTF10qts, which was discovered as part of the Palomar Transient Factory. The supernova…
GRB 051008: A long, spectrally-hard dust-obscured GRB in a Lyman-Break Galaxy at z ~ 2.8
A. A. Volnova, A. S. Pozanenko, J. Gorosabel +17
We present observations of the dark Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 051008 provided by Swift/BAT, Swift/XRT, Konus-WIND, INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS in the high-energy domain and the Shajn, Swift/UVOT, T…
Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901
We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…
GRB 130925A: an ultra-long Gamma Ray Burst with a dust-echo afterglow, and implications for the origin of the ultra-long GRBs
P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +24
GRB 130925A was an unusual GRB, consisting of 3 distinct episodes of high-energy emission spanning 20 ks, making it a member of the proposed category of `ultra-long' bursts.…
Extremely long hard bursts observed by Konus-Wind
V. Pal'shin, R. Aptekar, D. Frederiks +18
We report the observations of the prompt emission of the extremely long hard burst, GRB 060814B, discovered by Konus-Wind and localized by the IPN. The observations reveal a smooth…
