Constraining gamma-ray burst viewing angles with Swift/XRT afterglow light curves
Cheng-Jie Sun, Shuang-Xi Yi, Lin Zhou +6
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most energetic phenomena in the universe, and their afterglow light curves encode information about jet geometry and viewing angle. To constra…
Constraining Circum-burst Environments of GRBs with Jet Break Features in X-ray Afterglows
Si-Ji Xin, Yu-Qi Zhou, Sheng-Jin Sun +6
The nature of the circum-burst medium serves as a key diagnostic for probing the progenitor systems and the physics of relativistic jet propagation in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In t…
Magnetar-powered long gamma-ray bursts and connection to superluminous supernovae and fast radio bursts
Yu-Qi Zhou, Shuang-Xi Yi, Yu-Peng Yang +4
Based on X-ray afterglow observations from the Swift satellite, we construct a sample of 169 long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) exhibiting the canonical magnetar plateau signature, i.e.…
Exploring the central engines of gamma-ray bursts from prompt light curves
Xue Zhang, Shuang-Xi Yi, Wei-Hua Lei +6
Hyperaccreting stellar-mass black hole systems are leading candidates for the central engines of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Their jets are thought to be powered by either the Blandfo…
