The clustering of gamma-ray bursts in the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall: the largest structure in the Universe?
I. Horvath, D. Szécsi, J. Hakkila +5
The Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall is a statistically significant clustering of gamma-ray bursts around redshift 2. Motivated by recent theoretical results indicating that a m…
The impact of pair-instability mass loss on the binary black hole mass distribution
Simon Stevenson, Matthew Sampson, Jade Powell +4
A population of binary black hole mergers has now been observed in gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO and Virgo. The masses of these black holes appear to show evidence for a pil…
Single and binary stellar progenitors of long-duration gamma-ray bursts
Dorottya Szécsi
This review describes the most common theories behind long-duration gamma-ray burst progenitors. I discuss two astrophysical scenarios: the collapsar and the magnetar models. Accor…
How may short-duration GRBs form? A review of progenitor theories
Dorottya Szécsi
The origin of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still a fascinating field of research nowadays. While we have been collecting more and more observationally constrained properties of GRB-p…
Background fitting of Fermi GBM observations
Dorottya Szécsi, Zsolt Bagoly, József Kóbori +2
The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detects gamma-rays in the energy range 8 keV - 40 MeV. We developed a new background fitting process of these data, based on the motion of t…
Dependence of the optical brightness on the gamma and X-ray properties of GRBs
L. G. Balázs, Z. Bagoly, I. Horvath +3
The Swift satellite made a real break through with measuring simultaneously the gamma X-ray and optical data of GRBs, effectively. Although, the satellite measures the gamma, X-ray…
