Quasi-blackbody component and radiative efficiency of the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts
Felix Ryde, Asaf Pe'er
We perform time-resolved spectroscopy on the prompt emission in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and identify a thermal, photospheric component peaking at a temperature of a few hundreds ke…
A Comparison of the Afterglows of Short- and Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
M. Nysewander, A. S. Fruchter, A. Pe'er
We present a comparative study of the observed properties of the optical and X-ray afterglows of short- and long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Using a large sample of 37 short…
Temporal Evolution Of Thermal Emission From Relativistically Expanding Plasma
Asaf Pe'er
Propagation of photons in relativistically expanding plasma outflows, characterized by steady Lorentz factor Gamma is considered. Photons that are injected in regions of high optic…
GRB 070714B - Discovery of the Highest Spectroscopically Confirmed Short Burst Redshift
J. F. Graham, A. S. Fruchter, A. J. Levan +5
Gemini Nod & Shuffle spectroscopy on the host of the short GRB 070714B shows a single emission line at 7167 angstroms which, based on a grizJHK photometric redshift, we conclude is…
