The Gamma-ray Burst Jet Energy Distribution Suggests A Quasi-universal, Weakly Magnetized Jet Evolving Over Cosmic Time
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Fabio De Colle, Gal Birenbaum +2
We present distributions of gamma-ray burst observed and inferred properties for those GRBs with redshifts. We show that the isotropic energy distribution, which spans over four or…
The GRB Intrinsic Duration Distribution: Progenitor Insights Across Cosmic Time
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Omer Bromberg, Tsvi Piran
We present the distribution of the intrinsic duration of gamma-ray bursts' prompt emission. This expands upon the analysis of Bromberg et al., 2012 and Bromberg et al. 2013 who sho…
Tidal disruption of a magnetized star
Pavel Abolmasov, Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson +1
Tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes in galactic centers (TDEs) are now being actively studied both theoretically and observationally. They are observed throughou…
Numerical approach to compressible shallow-water dynamics of neutron-star spreading layers
Aleksandr Rusakov, Pavel Abolmasov, Omer Bromberg
A weakly magnetized neutron star (NS) undergoing disk accretion should release about a half of its power in a compact region known as the accretion boundary layer. Latitudinal spre…
Afterglow Linear Polarization Signatures from Shallow GRB Jets: Implications for Energetic GRBs
Gal Birenbaum, Ramandeep Gill, Omer Bromberg +2
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powered by ultra-relativistic jets. The launching sites of these jets are surrounded by dense media, which the jets must cross before they can accelerat…
