Swift observations of GRB 060614: an anomalous burst with a well behaved afterglow
V. Mangano, S. T. Holland, D. Malesani +22
GRB 060614 is a remarkable GRB observed by Swift with puzzling properties, which challenge current progenitor models. The lack of any bright SN down to very strict limits and the v…
Thermal radiation from hot polar cap in pulsars
Janusz Gil, George Melikidze, Bing Zhang
Thermal radiation from hot polar caps is examined in radio pulsars with drifting subpulses. It is argued that if these subpulses correspond to sparking discharges of the inner acce…
The very early optical afterglow of GRBs, revealing the nature of the ejecta
Y. Z. Fan, Bing Zhang, D. M. Wei
We show that if the GRB ejecta itself is magnetized or neutron-rich, the very early afterglow of GRBs is very different from that powered by a pure ion fireball. In the Swift era,…
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…
Some recent developments in gamma-ray burst afterglow and prompt emission models
Bing Zhang, Peter Meszaros, Junfeng Wang
Extensive observational campaigns of afterglow hunting have greatly enriched our understanding of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomenon. Efforts have been made recently to explore s…
Radio pulsar death
Bing Zhang
Pulsar radio emission is believed to be originated from the electron-positron pairs streaming out from the polar cap region. Pair formation, an essential condition for pulsar radio…
