A Complete Reference of the Analytical Synchrotron External Shock Models of Gamma-Ray Bursts
He Gao, Wei-Hua Lei, Yuan-Chuan Zou +2
Gamma-ray bursts are most luminous explosions in the universe. Their ejecta are believed to move towards Earth with a relativistic speed. The interaction between this "relativistic…
A double neutron star merger origin for the cosmological relativistic fading source PTF11agg?
Xue-Feng Wu, He Gao, Xuan Ding +3
The Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) team recently reported the discovery of a rapidly fading optical transient source, PTF11agg. A long-lived scintillating radio counterpart was id…
Bright "merger-nova" from the remnant of a neutron star binary merger: A signature of a newly born, massive, millisecond magnetar
Yun-Wei Yu, Bing Zhang, He Gao
A massive millisecond magnetar may survive a merger of a neutron star (NS) binary, which would continuously power the merger ejecta. We develop a generic dynamic model for the merg…
Possible High-Energy Neutrino and Photon Signals from Gravitational Wave Bursts due to Double Neutron Star Mergers
He Gao, Bing Zhang, Xue-Feng Wu +1
As the technology of gravitational-wave and neutrino detectors becomes increasingly mature, a multi-messenger era of astronomy is ushered in. Advanced gravitational wave detectors…
Bright broad-band afterglows of gravitational wave bursts from mergers of binary neutron stars
He Gao, Xuan Ding, Xue-Feng Wu +2
If double neutron star mergers leave behind a massive magnetar rather than a black hole, a bright early afterglow can follow the gravitational wave burst (GWB) even if there is no…
