Probability for chance coincidence of a gamma-ray burst with a galaxy on the sky
Maria Angela Campisi, Li-Xin Li
The nearby long GRB 060614 was not accompanied by a supernova, challenging the collapsar model for long-duration GRBs and the traditional classification scheme for GRBs. However, C…
The GRB-Supernova Connection
Li-Xin Li
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to be produced by the core collapse of massive stars and hence to be connected with supernovae (SNe). Indeed, for four pairs of G…
Are Gamma-Ray Bursts a Standard Energy Reservoir?
Li-Xin Li
One of the most important discoveries in the observation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is that the total energy emitted by a GRB in gamma-rays has a very narrow distribution around 10…
The X-Ray Transient 080109 in NGC 2770: an X-Ray Flash Associated with a Normal Core-Collapse Supernova
Li-Xin Li
Although it is generally thought that long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with core-collapse supernovae (SNe), so far only four pairs of GRBs and SNe with firmly…
Star Formation History up to z = 7.4: Implications for Gamma-Ray Bursts and the Cosmic Metallicity Evolution
Li-Xin Li
The current Swift sample of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with measured redshifts allows to test the assumption that GRBs trace the star formation in the Universe. Some authors have clai…
Are Gamma-Ray Bursts Standard Candles?
Li-Xin Li
By dividing a sample of 48 long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) into four groups with redshift from low to high and fitting each group with the Amati relation log Eiso = a + b log…
