Afterglows and Kilonovae Associated with Nearby Low-Luminosity Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts: Application to GW170817/GRB170817A
Di Xiao, Liang-Duan Liu, Zi-Gao Dai +1
Very recently, the gravitational-wave (GW) event GW170817 was discovered to be associated with the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 170817A. Multi-wavelength follow-up observations were…
Constraining the Type of Central Engine of GRBs with Swift Data
Liang Li, Xue-Feng Wu, Wei-Hua Lei +3
The central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is poorly constrained. There exist two main candidates: a fast-rotating black hole and a rapidly spinning magnetar. Furthermore, the X…
A Large Catalogue of Multi-wavelength GRB Afterglows I: Color Evolution And Its Physical Implication
Liang Li, Yu Wang, Lang Shao +5
The spectrum of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows can be studied with color indices. Here we present a large comprehensive catalogue of 70 GRBs with multi-wavelength optical transie…
A Further Test of Lorentz Violation from the Rest-Frame Spectral Lags of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Jun-Jie Wei, Xue-Feng Wu
Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) can manifest itself by an energy-dependent vacuum dispersion of light, which leads to arrival-time differences of photons with different energies…
Constraining External Reverse Shock Physics of GRBs from ROTSE-III Limits
Xiao-Hong Cui, Yuan-Chuan Zou, Jun-Jie Wei +2
Assuming that the early optical emission is dominated by the external reverse shock (RS) in the standard model of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), we intend to constrain RS models with the…
Optical Observations of LIGO Source GW 170817 by the Antarctic Survey Telescopes at Dome A, Antarctica
Lei Hu, Xuefeng Wu, I. Andreoni +30
The LIGO detection of gravitational waves (GW) from merging black holes in 2015 marked the beginning of a new era in observational astronomy. The detection of an electromagnetic si…
