We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of
the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB's), short and intense pulses of low-energy γ rays, have fascinated
astronomers and astrophysicists since their unexpected discovery in the late sixties. During …

Observations show that at least some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) happen simultaneously
with core-collapse supernovae (SNe), thus linking by a common thread nature's two …

Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the core collapse of massive stars,
but the identity of the central engine remains elusive. Previous work has shown that rapidly …

Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe, and their origin and
mechanism are the focus of intense research and debate. More than three decades after …

The p-process of stellar nucleosynthesis is aimed at explaining the production of the stable
neutron-deficient nuclides heavier than iron that are observed up to now in the solar system …

The cosmological gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomenon is reviewed. The broad
observational facts and empirical phenomenological relations of the GRB prompt emission …

The formation and large-scale propagation of Poynting-dominated jets produced by
accreting, rapidly rotating black hole systems are studied by numerically integrating the …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are known to come in two duration classes, separated at∼ 2 s.
Long-duration bursts originate from star-forming regions in galaxies, have accompanying …
