Short GRBs at the dawn of the gravitational wave era
G. Ghirlanda, O. S. Salafia, A. Pescalli +16
We derive the luminosity function and redshift distribution of short Gamma Ray Bursts (SGRBs) using (i) all the available observer-frame constraints (i.e. peak flux, fluence, peak…
Perspectives on Gamma-Ray Burst Physics and Cosmology with Next Generation Facilities
Weimin Yuan, Lorenzo Amati, John K. Cannizzo +10
High-redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) beyond redshift are potentially powerful tools to probe the distant early Universe. Their detections in large numbers and at truly hig…
Searching for narrow absorption and emission lines in XMM-Newton spectra of gamma-ray bursts
S. Campana, V. Braito, P. D'Avanzo +7
We present the results of a spectroscopic search for narrow emission and absorption features in the X-ray spectra of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Using XMM-Newton data, b…
Gamma-ray bursts from massive Population III stars: clues from the radio band
D. Burlon, T. Murphy, G. Ghirlanda +3
Current models suggest gamma-ray bursts could be used as a way of probing Population III stars - the first stars in the early Universe. In this paper we use numerical simulations t…
Are LGRBs biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of bright LGRBs. II: star formation rates and metallicities at z < 1
J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra +21
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the deaths of massive stars and could thus be a potentially powerful tool to trace cosmic star formation. However, especially at l…
The 999th Swift gamma-ray burst: Some like it thermal
F. Nappo, A. Pescalli, G. Oganesyan +23
We present a multiwavelength study of GRB 151027A. This is the 999th GRB detected by the Swift satellite and it has a densely sampled emission in the X-ray and optical band and has…
