GRB Probes of the High-z Universe with EXIST
Jonathan Grindlay, the EXIST Team
The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) mission concept is optimized for study of high-z GRBs as probes of the early Universe. With a High Energy Telescope (HET) incor…
Unusually High Metallicity Host Of The Dark LGRB 051022
J. F. Graham, A. S. Fruchter, L. J. Kewley +5
We present spectroscopy of the host of GRB 051022 with GMOS nod and shuffle on Gemini South and NIRSPEC on Keck II. We determine a metallicity for the host of log(O/H)+12 = 8.77 us…
Optical flashes, reverse shocks and magnetization
Andreja Gomboc, Shiho Kobayashi, Carole G. Mundell +8
Despite the pre-Swift expectation that bright optical flashes from reverse shocks would be prevalent in early-time afterglow emission, rapid response observations show this not to…
Selection effects on GRB spectral-energy correlations
Lara Nava, Giancarlo Ghirlanda, Gabriele Ghisellini
Instrumental selection effects can act upon the estimates of the peak energy Ep, the fluence F and the peak flux P of GRBs. If this were the case, then the correlations involving t…
From blast wave to observation
H. J. van Eerten, R. A. M. J. Wijers
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are well described by synchrotron emission originating from the interaction between a relativistic blast wave and the external medium surrounding t…
Observational Consequences of GRBs as Sources of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
Soebur Razzaque, Charles D. Dermer, Justin D. Finke +1
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have long been considered as candidates of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We investigate the signatures of CR proton acceleration in the GRBs by con…
