The Gamma-ray Burst Jet Energy Distribution Suggests A Quasi-universal, Weakly Magnetized Jet Evolving Over Cosmic Time
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Fabio De Colle, Gal Birenbaum +2
We present distributions of gamma-ray burst observed and inferred properties for those GRBs with redshifts. We show that the isotropic energy distribution, which spans over four or…
Polarization of impulsive relativistic jets propagating in a stratified medium
Gal Birenbaum, Paz Beniamini, Jonathan Granot
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and at least some tidal disruption events (TDEs) are highly energetic transients involving impulsive relativistic jets. As these jets propagate into their s…
Afterglow Linear Polarization Signatures from Steep GRB Jets: Implications for Orphan Afterglows
Gal Birenbaum, Jonathan Granot, Paz Beniamini
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the strongest explosions in the Universe, and are powered by initially ultra-relativistic jets. The angular profile of GRB jets encodes important inform…
Afterglow Linear Polarization Signatures from Shallow GRB Jets: Implications for Energetic GRBs
Gal Birenbaum, Ramandeep Gill, Omer Bromberg +2
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powered by ultra-relativistic jets. The launching sites of these jets are surrounded by dense media, which the jets must cross before they can accelerat…
