The peculiar physics of GRB 170817A and their implications for short GRBs
D. Bégué, J. Michael Burgess, J. Greiner
The unexpected nearby gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A associated with the LIGO binary neutron star merger event GW170817 presents a challenge to the current understanding of the emissi…
Viewing short Gamma-ray Bursts from a different angle
J. Michael Burgess, Jochen Greiner, Damien Begue +3
The recent coincident detection of gravitational waves (GW) from a binary neutron star merger with aLIGO/Virgo and short-lived gamma-ray emission with Fermi/GBM (called GW 170817)…
The X-ray counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW 170817
E. Troja, L. Piro, H. van Eerten +31
A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions- or mergers- of two neutron stars (NSs) form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) powering gamma-ray burst…
Is Spectral Width a Reliable Measure of GRB Emission Physics?
J. Michael Burgess
The spectral width and sharpness of unfolded, observed GRB spectra have been presented as a new tool to infer physical properties about GRB emission via spectral fitting of empiric…
