Jets and Gamma-Ray Burst Unification Schemes
Jonathan Granot, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
There are several lines of evidence indicating that the ultra-relativistic outflows powering gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are collimated into narrow jets. However, these are indirect, a…
Detailed Radio View on Two Stellar Explosions and Their Host Galaxy: XRF080109/SN2008D and SN2007uy in NGC2770
A. J. van der Horst, A. P. Kamble, Z. Paragi +16
The galaxy NGC2770 hosted two core-collapse supernova explosions, SN2008D and SN2007uy, within 10 days of each other and 9 years after the first supernova of the same type, SN1999e…
Design Concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The CTA Consortium
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray…
Impulsive Acceleration of Strongly Magnetized Relativistic Flows
Jonathan Granot, Serguei Komissarov, Anatoly Spitkovsky
The strong variability of magnetic central engines of AGN and GRBs may result in highly intermittent strongly magnetized relativistic outflows. We find a new magnetic acceleration…
Highlights from Fermi GRB observations
Jonathan Granot
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has more than doubled the number of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected above 100 MeV within its first year of operation. Thanks to the very wide e…
Fermi detection of delayed GeV emission from the short GRB 081024B
Fermi LAT Collaboration, Fermi GBM Collaboration
We report on the detailed analysis of the high-energy extended emission from the short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 081024B, detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Historically,…
