A complete sample of bright Swift Long Gamma Ray Bursts: testing the spectral-energy correlations
L. Nava, R. Salvaterra, G. Ghirlanda +11
We use a nearly complete sample of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected by the Swift satellite to study the correlations between the spectral peak energy Ep of the prompt emission, the…
A minor body falling onto a neutron star as an explanation for the unusual gamma-ray burst GRB 101225A
S. Campana, G. Lodato, P. D'Avanzo +17
The tidal disruption of a solar mass star around a supermassive black hole has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. In these events the star develops into an elon…
GRB 081029: A Gamma-Ray Burst with a Multi-Component Afterglow
Stephen T. Holland, Massimiliano De Pasquale, Jirong Mao +12
We present an analysis of the unusual optical light curve of the gamma-ray burst GRB 081029, a long-soft burst with a redshift of z = 3.8479. We combine X-ray and optical observati…
The Highly Energetic Expansion of SN2010bh Associated with GRB 100316D
Filomena Bufano, Elena Pian, Jesper Sollerman +50
We present the spectroscopic and photometric evolution of the nearby (z = 0.059) spectroscopically confirmed type Ic supernova, SN 2010bh, associated with the soft, long-duration g…
Unusual Central Engine Activity in the Double Burst GRB 110709B
Bin-Bin Zhang, David Burrows, Bing Zhang +11
The double burst, GRB 110709B, triggered Swift/BAT twice at 21:32:39 UT and 21:43:45 UT, respectively, on 9 July 2011. This is the first time we observed a GRB with two BAT trigger…
A simplified view of blazars: clearing the fog around long-standing selection effects
P. Giommi, P. Padovani, G. Polenta +3
We propose a scenario where blazars are classified as flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), BL Lacs, low synchrotron, or high synchrotron peaked objects according to a varying mix o…
