A Magnetohydrodynamic Boost for Relativistic Jets
Yosuke Mizuno, Philip Hardee, Dieter H. Hartmann +2
We performed relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the hydrodynamic boosting mechanism for relativistic jets explored by Aloy & Rezzolla (2006) using the RAISHIN code. Si…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Swift/XRT Data: III. Jet Break Candidates in X-ray and Optical Afterglow Lightcurves
En-Wei Liang, Judith L. Racusin, Bing Zhang +2
The Swift/XRT data of 179 GRBs (from 050124 to 070129) and the optical afterglow data of 57 pre- and post-Swift GRBs are analyzed, in order to systematically investigate the jet-li…
Prompt Emission of High Energy Photons from Gamma Ray Bursts
Nayantara Gupta, Bing Zhang
Within the internal shock scenario we consider different mechanisms of high energy ( MeV) photon production inside a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) fireball and derive the expected high…
A Comprehensive Analysis of the Swift/XRT Data: II. Diverse Physical Origins of the Shallow Decay Segment
En-Wei Liang, Bin-Bin Zhang, Bing Zhang
We analyze the properties of the shallow decay segment with a sample of 53 long Swift GRBs. We show that the distributions of its characteristics are log-normal or normal, and its…
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…
