The unusual X-ray emission of the short Swift GRB 090515: Evidence for the formation of a magnetar?
A. Rowlinson, P. T. O'Brien, N. R. Tanvir +16
The majority of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to originate from the merger of compact binary systems collapsing directly to form a black hole. However, it has been pro…
Can X-ray emission powered by a spinning-down magnetar explain some GRB light curve features?
N. Lyons, P. T. O'Brien, B. Zhang +3
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to be produced by the core-collapse of a rapidly-rotating massive star. This event generates a highly relativistic jet and prompt…
Different progenitors of short hard gamma-ray bursts
Eleonora Troja, Andrew R. King, Paul T. O'Brien +2
We consider the spatial offsets of short hard gamma-ray bursts (SHBs) from their host galaxies. We show that all SHBs with extended duration soft emission components lie very close…
A spectral atlas of post-main-sequence stars in omega Centauri: kinematics, evolution, enrichment and interstellar medium
Jacco Th. van Loon, Floor van Leeuwen, Barry Smalley +4
We present a spectral atlas of the post-main-sequence population of the most massive Galactic globular cluster, omega Centauri. Spectra were obtained of more than 1500 stars select…
