High column densities and low extinctions of gamma-ray bursts: Evidence for hypernovae and dust destruction
Titus J. Galama, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
We analyze a complete sample of gamma-ray burst afterglows, and find X-ray evidence for high column densities of gas around them. The column densities are in the range 1e+22-1e+23/…

A Theory of Gamma-Ray Bursts
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, R. A. M. J. Wijers +3
We present a specific scenario for the link between GRB and hypernovae, based on Blandford-Znajek extraction of black-hole spin energy. Such a mechanism requires a high angular mom…
