Early afterglow, magnetized central engine, and a quasi-universal jet configuration for long GRBs
Bing Zhang, Shiho Kobayashi, Peter Meszaros +2
Two separate topics are discussed. (1) We describe the classifications of the long GRB early afterglow lightcurves within the framework of the fireball shock model, focusing on the…
Quasi-universal Gaussian jets: a unified picture for gamma-ray bursts and X-ray flashes
Bing Zhang, Xinyu Dai, Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning +1
An observed correlation Ep \propto (E_{iso})^{1/2} extending from Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) to X-ray flashes (XRFs) poses problems both for a power-law universal jet model where the…
Gamma-Ray Bursts: Progress, Problems & Prospects
Bing Zhang, Peter Meszaros
The cosmological gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomenon is reviewed. The broad observational facts and empirical phenomenological relations of the GRB prompt emission and afterglow are o…
Detectability of Long GRB Afterglows from Very High Redshifts
L. J. Gou, P. Meszaros, T. Abel +1
Gamma-ray bursts are promising tools for tracing the formation of high redshift stars, including the first generation. At very high redshifts the reverse shock emission lasts longe…
