The Gamma-ray Burst Jet Energy Distribution Suggests A Quasi-universal, Weakly Magnetized Jet Evolving Over Cosmic Time
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Fabio De Colle, Gal Birenbaum +2
We present distributions of gamma-ray burst observed and inferred properties for those GRBs with redshifts. We show that the isotropic energy distribution, which spans over four or…
Polarization of impulsive relativistic jets propagating in a stratified medium
Gal Birenbaum, Paz Beniamini, Jonathan Granot
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and at least some tidal disruption events (TDEs) are highly energetic transients involving impulsive relativistic jets. As these jets propagate into their s…
Afterglow Linear Polarization Signatures from Steep GRB Jets: Implications for Orphan Afterglows
Gal Birenbaum, Jonathan Granot, Paz Beniamini
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the strongest explosions in the Universe, and are powered by initially ultra-relativistic jets. The angular profile of GRB jets encodes important inform…
Afterglow Linear Polarization Signatures from Shallow GRB Jets: Implications for Energetic GRBs
Gal Birenbaum, Ramandeep Gill, Omer Bromberg +2
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powered by ultra-relativistic jets. The launching sites of these jets are surrounded by dense media, which the jets must cross before they can accelerat…
Modeling the Linear Polarization of GRB Afterglows Across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Gal Birenbaum, Omer Bromberg
Linear polarization measurements in the optical band show polarization degrees of a few percent at late times. Recently, polarization at sub-percent level was also detected in radi…
Full orbital solution for the binary system in the northern Galactic disc microlensing event Gaia16aye
Łukasz Wyrzykowski, P. Mróz, K. A. Rybicki +182
Gaia16aye was a binary microlensing event discovered in the direction towards the northern Galactic disc and was one of the first microlensing events detected and alerted to by the…
Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP) Observations of Type II Supernovae: Evidence for Three Distinct Photometric Subtypes
Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, S. Bradley Cenko +12
We present R-Band light curves of Type II supernovae (SNe) from the Caltech Core Collapse Project (CCCP). With the exception of interacting (Type IIn) SNe and rare events with long…
