Trans-Relativistic Supernovae, Circumstellar Gamma-Ray Bursts, and Supernova 1998bw
Christopher D. Matzner, Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
Supernova (SN) 1998bw and gamma-ray burst (GRB) 980425 offer the first direct evidence that supernovae are the progenitors of some GRBs. However, this burst was unusually dim, smoo…
The Trans-Relativistic Blast Wave Model for SN 1998bw and GRB 980425
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher D. Matzner, Christopher F. McKee
The spatiotemporal coincidence of supernova (SN) 1998bw and gamma-ray burst (GRB) 980425 and this supernova's unusual optical and radio properties have prompted many theoretical mo…
Trans-Relativistic Blast Waves in Supernovae as Gamma-Ray Burst Progenitors
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher D. Matzner, Christopher F. McKee
We investigate the acceleration of shock waves to relativistic velocities in the outer layers of exploding stars. By concentrating the explosion energy in the outermost ejecta, suc…
