The flat decay phase in the early X-ray afterglows of Swift GRBs
Jonathan Granot
Many Swift GRBs show an early phase of shallow decay in their X-ray afterglows, lasting from s to s after the GRB, where the flux decays as $\sim t^{-…
Swift detects a remarkable gamma-ray burst, GRB 060614, that introduces a new classification scheme
N. Gehrels, J. P. Norris, V. Mangano +19
Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are known to come in two duration classes, separated at ~2 s. Long bursts originate from star forming regions in galaxies, have accompanying supernovae (SNe…
The Structure and Dynamics of GRB Jets
Jonathan Granot
There are several lines of evidence which suggest that the relativistic outflows in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are collimated into narrow jets. The jet structure has important implica…
A Simple Test of the External Shock Model for the Prompt Emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Jonathan Granot
It is demonstrated here that if the prompt GRB emission is produced by the simplest version of the external shock model, a specific relation should prevail between the observed dur…
Prompt and Afterglow Emission Properties of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Spectroscopically Identified Supernovae
Y. Kaneko, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, J. Granot +8
We present a detailed spectral analysis of the prompt and afterglow emission of four nearby long-soft gamma-ray bursts (GRBs 980425, 030329, 031203, and 060218) that were spectrosc…
Smooth Light Curves from a Bumpy Ride: Relativistic Blast Wave Encounters a Density Jump
Ehud Nakar, Jonathan Granot
Some GRB afterglow light curves show significant variability, which often includes episodes of rebrightening. This was attributed in several cases to large fluctuations in the exte…
