An optical supernova associated with the X-ray flash XRF 060218
E. Pian, P. A. Mazzali, N. Masetti +42
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are associated with type Ic supernovae that are more luminous than average and that eject material at very high velocities. Less-luminous supe…
X-ray Rich GRB, Photospheres and Variability
P. Meszaros, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, M. J. Rees +1
We investigate the relationship between the quasi-thermal baryon-related photosphere in relativistic outflows, and the internal shocks arising outside them, which out to a limiting…
X-ray spectral diagnostics of the immediate environment of GRB 991216
D. R. Ballantyne, E. Ramirez-Ruiz, D. Lazzati +1
The recent report of iron line features in the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 991216 has important implications for the properties of the radiating material and hence the n…
A Possible Cepheid-Like Luminosity Estimator for the Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
Daniel E. Reichart, Donald Q. Lamb, Edward E. Fenimore +3
We present a possible Cepheid-like luminosity estimator for the long gamma-ray bursts based on the variability of their light curves. To construct the luminosity estimator, we use…
Temporal Evolution of the Pulse Width in GRBs
E. Ramirez-Ruiz, E. E. Fenimore
Many cosmological models of GRBs envision the energy source to be a cataclysmic stellar event leading to a relativistically expanding fireball. Particles are thought to be accelera…
