The physics of GRB jets and their interaction with the progenitor star
Davide Lazzati, Brian J. Morsony, Mitchell C. Begelman
It is now generally accepted that long gamma-ray bursts are associated with the final evolutionary stages of massive stars. As a consequence, their jets must propagate through the…
Gamma-Ray Burst jet dynamics and their interaction with the progenitor star
Davide Lazzati, Brian J. Morsony, Mitchell C. Begelman
The association of at least some long gamma-ray bursts with type Ic supernova explosions has been established beyond reasonable doubt. Theoretically, the challenge is to explain th…
Temporal and Angular Properties of GRB Jets Emerging from Massive Stars
Brian J. Morsony, Davide Lazzati, Mitchell C. Begelman
We study the long-term evolution of relativistic jets in collapsars and examine the effects of viewing angle on the subsequent gamma ray bursts. We carry out a series of high-resol…
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts as standard candles
D. Lazzati, G. Ghirlanda, G. Ghisellini +4
As soon as it was realized that long GRBs lie at cosmological distances, attempts have been made to use them as cosmological probes. Besides their use as lighthouses, a task that p…
