On the sensitivity of the HAWC observatory to gamma-ray bursts
HAWC collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, J. A. Aguilar +145
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 4100 m. It…
Electromagnetic Transients Powered by Nuclear Decay in the Tidal Tails of Coalescing Compact Binaries
Luke F. Roberts, Dan Kasen, William H. Lee +1
The possibility that long tidal tails formed during compact object mergers may power optical transients through the decay of freshly synthesized r-process material is investigated.…
A relativistic jetted outburst from a massive black hole fed by a tidally disrupted star
Joshua S. Bloom, Dimitrios Giannios, Brian D. Metzger +19
While gas accretion onto some massive black holes (MBHs) at the centers of galaxies actively powers luminous emission, the vast majority of MBHs are considered dormant. Occasionall…
