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…
Calibration of Gamma-Ray Burst Luminosity Indicators
Enwei Liang, Bing Zhang
Several gamma-ray burst (GRB) luminosity indicators (LIs)have been proposed. Unlike SNe Ia, calibration of GRB LIs using a low-redshift sample is difficult. Based on the Bayesian t…
Model-Independent Multi-Variable Gamma-Ray Burst Luminosity Indicator and Its Possible Cosmological Implications
Enwei Liang, Bing Zhang
We present a multi-variable regression analysis to several observable quantities for a sample of 15 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The observables used in the analysis includes the isotr…
