The Observer's Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection

Z Cano, SQ Wang, ZG Dai, XF Wu - Advances in Astronomy, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts
(GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places …

The supernova–gamma-ray burst connection

SE Woosley, JS Bloom - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Gamma-ray bursts

P Meszaros - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Long γ-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae have different environments

AS Fruchter, AJ Levan, L Strolger, PM Vreeswijk… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
When massive stars exhaust their fuel, they collapse and often produce the extraordinarily
bright explosions known as core-collapse supernovae. On occasion, this stellar collapse …

The observed offset distribution of gamma-ray bursts from their host galaxies: a robust clue to the nature of the progenitors

JS Bloom, SR Kulkarni… - The Astronomical Journal, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive study to measure the locations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)
relative to their host galaxies. In total, we find the offsets of 20 long-duration GRBs from their …

Gamma-ray bursts: progress, problems & prospects

B Zhang, P Meszaros - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2004 - World Scientific
The cosmological gamma-ray burst (GRB) phenomenon is reviewed. The broad
observational facts and empirical phenomenological relations of the GRB prompt emission …

Theories of gamma-ray bursts

P Mészáros - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract The gamma ray burst phenomenon is reviewed from a theoretical point of view,
with emphasis on the fireball shock scenario of the prompt emission and the longer …

Analytic light curves of gamma-ray burst afterglows: homogeneous versus wind external media

A Panaitescu, P Kumar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
Assuming an adiabatic evolution of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) remnant interacting with an
external medium, we calculate the injection, cooling, and absorption break frequencies and …

The GRB-supernova connection

J Hjorth, JS Bloom - Cambridge Astrophysics Series, 2012 - books.google.com
Well before the afterglow era, Paczynski (1986) noted that “cosmological” distances of GRBs
would imply that the energy release in gamma rays would be comparable to the energy …

Relativistic jets in collapsars

W Zhang, SE Woosley… - The Astrophysical …, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the propagation of two-dimensional relativistic jets through the stellar
progenitor in the collapsar model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Each jet is parameterized by …
