Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger
E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
Are LGRBs biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of bright LGRBs. II: star formation rates and metallicities at z < 1
J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra +21
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the deaths of massive stars and could thus be a potentially powerful tool to trace cosmic star formation. However, especially at l…
Unveiling the population of orphan Gamma Ray Bursts
G. Ghirlanda, R. Salvaterra, S. Campana +12
Gamma Ray Bursts are detectable in the gamma-ray band if their jets are oriented towards the observer. However, for each GRB with a typical theta_jet, there should be ~2/theta_jet^…
Gamma-ray burst jets: uniform or structured?
O. S. Salafia, A. Pescalli, F. Nappo +4
The structure of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) jets impacts on their prompt and afterglow emission properties. Insights into the still unknown structure of GRBs can be achieved by studying…
