GRB 080503: Implications of a Naked Short Gamma-Ray Burst Dominated by Extended Emission
D. A. Perley, B. D. Metzger, J. Granot +22
We report on observations of GRB 080503, a short gamma-ray burst with very bright extended emission (about 30 times the gamma-ray fluence of the initial spike) in conjunction with…
An infrared ring around the magnetar SGR 1900+14
S. Wachter, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, V. V. Dwarkadas +4
Magnetars are a special class of slowly rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields -- at least an order of magnitude larger than those of the "normal" radio pulsa…
GRB 080319B: A Naked-Eye Stellar Blast from the Distant Universe
J. L. Racusin, S. V. Karpov, M. Sokolowski +81
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) release copious amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and so provide a window into the process of black hole formation…
A Re-brightening of the Radio Nebula associated with the 2004 December 27 giant flare from SGR 1806--20
J. D. Gelfand, Y. E. Lyubarsky, D. Eichler +7
The 2004 Dec. 27 giant Gamma-ray flare detected from the magnetar SGR 1806-20 created an expanding radio nebula which we have monitored with the Australia Telescope Compact Array a…
Diagnosing the outflow from the SGR 1806-20 Giant Flare with Radio Observations
J. Granot, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, G. B. Taylor +6
On 2004 Dec. 27, the soft gamma repeater (SGR) 1806-20 emitted the brightest giant flare (GF) ever detected from an SGR, with an (isotropic) energy release times greater…
An expanding radio nebula produced by a giant flare from the magnetar SGR 1806-20
B. M. Gaensler, C. Kouveliotou, J. D. Gelfand +16
Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are "magnetars", a small class of slowly spinning neutron stars with extreme surface magnetic fields, ~10^15 gauss. On 2004 December 27, a giant flare w…
