X-ray flares following short gamma-ray bursts from shock heating of binary stellar companions
Andrew I. MacFadyen, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Weiqun Zhang
The discovery of long-lasting (~100 s) X-ray flares following short gamma-ray bursts initially called into question whether they were truly classical short-hard bursts. Opinion ove…
Relativistic Jets from Collapsars
Miguel A. Aloy, Ewald Mueller, Jose M. Ibanez +2
We have studied the relativistic beamed outflow proposed to occur in the collapsar model of gamma-ray bursts. A jet forms as a consequence of an assumed energy deposition of $\sim…
Collapsars, Gamma-Ray Bursts, and Supernovae
S. E. Woosley, A. I. MacFadyen, A. Heger
A diverse range of phenomena is possible when a black hole experiences very rapid accretion from a disk due to the incomplete explosion of a massive presupernova star endowed with…
