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…
