Estimation of the neutrino flux and resulting constraints on hadronic emission models for Cyg X-3 using AGILE data

Philipp Baerwald, Dafne Guetta

In this work we give an estimate of the neutrino flux that can be expected from the microquasar Cyg X-3. We calculate the muon neutrino flux expected here on Earth as well as the c…

The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst redshift distribution: selection biases and optical brightness evolution at high-z?

David Coward, Eric Howell, Marica Branchesi +4

We employ realistic constraints on astrophysical and instrumental selection effects to model the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) redshift distribution using {\it Swift} triggered redshift sa…

The mystery of the missing GRB redshifts

David Coward, Eric Howell, Marica Branchesi +2

It is clear that optical selection effects have distorted the "true" GRB redshift distribution to its presently observed biased distribution. We constrain a statistically optimal m…

The Swift short gamma-ray burst rate density: prospects for detecting binary neutron star mergers by aLIGO

David Coward, Eric Howell, Tsvi Piran +6

Presently only 30% of short gamma ray bursts (SGRBs) have accurate redshifts, and this sample is highly biased by the limited sensitivity of {\it Swift} to detect SGRBs. We account…

The Swift short gamma-ray burst rate density: implications for binary neutron star merger rates

David Coward, Eric Howell, Tsvi Piran +6

Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed by {\it Swift} are potentially revealing the first insight into cataclysmic compact object mergers. To ultimately acquire a fundamental unde…
