GRB 090423: Marking the Death of a Massive Star at z=8.2
Lin Lin, Liang En Wei, Zhang Shuang Nan
GRB 090423 is the new high-z record holder of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with z~ 8.2. We present a detailed analysis of both the spectral and temporal features of GRB 090423 observed…
Discerning the physical origins of cosmological Gamma-ray bursts based on multiple observational criteria: the cases of z=6.7 GRB 080913, z=8.3 GRB 090423, and some short/hard GRBs
Bing Zhang, Bin-Bin Zhang, Francisco J. Virgili +10
(Abridged) The two high-redshift gamma-ray bursts, GRB 080913 at z=6.7 and GRB 090423 at z=8.3, recently detected by Swift appear as intrinsically short, hard GRBs. They could have…
X-Ray Flares of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Quakes of Solid Quark Stars?
Renxin Xu, Enwei Liang
We propose a star-quake model to understand X-ray flares of both long and short Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in a solid quark star regime. Two kinds of central engines for GRBs are avai…
Extended Emission of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
Lin Lin, En-Wei Liang, Bin-Bin Zhang +1
Preliminary results of our analysis on the extended emission of short/medium duration GRBs observed with Swift/BAT are presented. The Bayesian blocks algorithm is used to analyze t…
Thermal Emission from a Hot Cocoon Surrounding the Jet of XRF 060218
Enwei Liang, Bing Zhang, Bin-Bin Zhang +1
It is long speculated that long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate froma relativistic jet emerging from a collapsing massive star progenitor. Although associations of core-…
GRB 060218/SN 2006aj: Prompt Emission from Inverse-Compton Scattering of Shock Breakout Thermal Photons
Z. G. Dai, Bing Zhang, E. W. Liang
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) 060218/SN 2006aj is a peculiar event, with the second lowest redshift, low luminosity, long duration, chromatic lightcurve features, and in particular, th…
