The First Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Universe
R. A. Mesler, Daniel J. Whalen, Joseph Smidt +3
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the ultimate cosmic lighthouses, capable of illuminating the universe at its earliest epochs. Could such events probe the properties of the first stars…
Calorimetry of GRB 030329: Simultaneous Fitting to the Broadband Radio Afterglow and the Observed Image Expansion Rate
Robert Mesler, Ylva Pihlström
We perform calorimetry on the bright gamma ray burst (GRB) 030329 by fitting simultaneously the broadband radio afterglow and the observed afterglow image size to a semi-analytic m…
VLBI and Archival VLA and WSRT Observations of the GRB 030329 Radio Afterglow
Robert Mesler, Ylva Pihlström, Greg Taylor +1
We present VLBI and archival Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) observations of the radio afterglow from the gamma-ray burst (GRB…
Gamma-Ray Bursts in Circumstellar Shells: A Possible Explanation for Flares
Robert A. Mesler, Daniel J. Whalen, Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning +2
It is now generally accepted that long-duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are due to the collapse of massive rotating stars. The precise collapse process itself, however, is not yet…
