The nature of GRB980425 and the search for off-axis GRB signatures in nearby type Ib/c supernovae emission
E. Waxman
The identification of type Ib/c supernovae as GRB progenitors is motivated by the association of GRB980425 with SN1998bw and of GRB030329 with SN2003dh. While the gamma-ray luminos…
The high energy tail of gamma-ray burst 941017: Comptonization of synchrotron self absorbed photons
Asaf Pe'er, Eli Waxman
The recent detection of an unusually hard spectral component in GRB941017 extending to MeV is hard to explain as a synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons. I…
Neutrino signatures of the supernova - gamma ray burst relationship
Soebur Razzaque, Peter Meszaros, Eli Waxman
We calculate the TeV-PeV neutrino fluxes of gamma-ray bursts associated with supernovae, based on the observed association between GRB 030329 and supernova SN 2003dh. The neutrino…
Implications of the -ray Polarization of GRB 021206
Ehud Nakar, Tsvi Piran, Eli Waxman
We compare two possible scenarios for the producing of high level of polarization within the prompt emission of a GRB: synchrotron emission from a relativistic jet with a uniform (…
The Case for a Low Extragalactic Gamma-ray Background
Uri Keshet, Eli Waxman, Abraham Loeb
Measurements of the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) are complicated by a strong Galactic foreground. Estimates of the EGRB flux and spectrum, obtained by modeling…
New direction for gamma-rays
E. Waxman
The origin of energetic gamma-ray bursts is still unknown. But the detection of polarization of gamma-rays provides fresh insight into the mechanism driving these powerful explosio…
