Two populations are better than one: Short gamma-ray bursts from SGR giant flares and NS-NS mergers
Robert Chapman, Robert S. Priddey, Nial R. Tanvir
With a peak luminosity of ~10^47 erg/s, the December 27th 2004 giant flare from SGR1806-20 would have been visible by BATSE (the Burst and Transient Source Experiment) out to ~50 M…
How common are long Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Local Universe?
Robert Chapman, Nial R. Tanvir, Robert S. Priddey +1
The two closest Gamma-Ray Bursts so far detected (GRBs 980425 & 060218) were both under-luminous, spectrally soft, long duration bursts with smooth, single-peaked light curves. Onl…
On the nature of the short duration GRB 050906
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, P. Jakobsson +12
We present deep optical and infrared observations of the short duration GRB 050906. Although no X-ray or optical/IR afterglow was discovered to deep limits, the error circle of the…
A case of mistaken identity? GRB 060912A and the nature of the long -- short GRB divide
A. J. Levan, P. Jakobsson, C. Hurkett +13
We investigate the origin of the GRB 060912A, which has observational properties that make its classification as either a long or short burst ambiguous. Short duration GRBs (SGRBs)…
