Correlative Spectral Analysis of Gamma-Ray Bursts using Swift-BAT and GLAST-GBM
Michael Stamatikos, Takanori Sakamoto, David L. Band
We discuss the preliminary results of spectral analysis simulations involving anticipated correlated multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using Swift's Burst Al…
A Correlation of Spectral Lag Evolution with Prompt Optical Emission in GRBs?
Michael Stamatikos, Tilan N. Ukwatta, Takanori Sakamoto +1
We report on observations of correlated behavior between the prompt gamma-ray and optical emission from GRB 080319B, which (i) strongly suggest that they occurred within the same a…
Flares in Gamma Ray Bursts
G. Chincarini, J. Mao, F. Pasotti +4
The flare activity that is observed in GRBs soon after the prompt emission with the XRT (0.3-10 KeV) instrument on board of the Swift satellite is leading to important clues in rel…
Cosmology-Independent Distance Moduli of 42 Gamma-Ray Bursts between Redshift of 1.44 and 6.60
Nan Liang, Shuang Nan Zhang
This report is an update and extension of our paper accepted for publication in ApJ (arXiv:0802.4262). Since objects at the same redshift should have the same luminosity distance a…
Rebound Shock Breakouts of Exploding Massive Stars: A MHD Void Model
Ren-Yu Hu, Yu-Qing Lou
With a self-similar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of an exploding progenitor star and an outgoing rebound shock and with the thermal bremsstrahlung as the major radiation mechani…
Can optical afterglows be used to discriminate between Type I and Type II GRBs?
D. A. Kann
The precise localization of short/hard (Type I) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in recent years has answered many questions but raised even more. I present some results of a systematic stu…
