Discovery of a tight correlation for gamma ray burst afterglows with `canonical' light curves
M. G. Dainotti, R. Willingale, S. Capozziello +2
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) observed up to redshifts are fascinating objects to study due to their still unexplained relativistic outburst mechanisms and a possible use to test co…
The unusual X-ray emission of the short Swift GRB 090515: Evidence for the formation of a magnetar?
A. Rowlinson, P. T. O'Brien, N. R. Tanvir +16
The majority of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to originate from the merger of compact binary systems collapsing directly to form a black hole. However, it has been pro…
Constraining cosmological parameters by Gamma Ray Burst X - ray afterglow lightcurves
V. F. Cardone, M. G. Dainotti, S. Capozziello +1
We present the Hubble diagram (HD) of 66 Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) derived using only data from their X - ray afterglow lightcurve. To this end, we use the recently updated L_X - T_a…
The Swift Burst Analyser I: BAT and XRT spectral and flux evolution of Gamma Ray Bursts
P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +9
Context: Gamma Ray Burst models predict the broadband spectral evolution and the temporal evolution of the energy flux. In contrast, standard data analysis tools and data repositor…
GRB 081008: from burst to afterglow and the transition phase in between
F. Yuan, P. Schady, J. L. Racusin +30
We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 081008, at redshift 1.967, by Swift, ROTSE-III and GROND. Compared to other Swift GRBs, GRB 081008 has a typical gamma-ray isotropic equi…
