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 …

The progenitor stars of gamma-ray bursts
SE Woosley, A Heger - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Those massive stars that give rise to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) during their deaths must be
endowed with an unusually large amount of angular momentum in their inner regions, 1-2 …

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 …

A short γ-ray burst apparently associated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z = 0.225
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) come in two classes: long (> 2 s), soft-spectrum bursts and short,
hard events. Most progress has been made on understanding the long GRBs, which are …

Discerning the physical origins of cosmological gamma-ray bursts based on multiple observational criteria: the cases of z= 6.7 GRB 080913, z= 8.2 GRB 090423, and …
The two high-redshift gamma-ray bursts, GRB 080913 at z= 6.7 and GRB 090423 at z= 8.2,
recently detected by Swift appear as intrinsically short, hard GRBs. They could have been …

The prompt energy release of gamma-ray bursts using a cosmological k-correction
The fluences of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are measured with a variety of instruments in
different detector energy ranges. A detailed comparison of the implied energy releases of …

Gamma-ray burst energetics and the gamma-ray burst Hubble diagram: promises and limitations
JS Bloom, DA Frail, SR Kulkarni - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a complete sample of 29 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which it has been
possible to determine temporal breaks (or limits) from their afterglow light curves. We …

The propagation and eruption of relativistic jets from the stellar progenitors of gamma-ray bursts
New two-and three-dimensional calculations are presented of relativistic jet propagation and
break out in massive Wolf-Rayet stars. Such jets are thought to be responsible for gamma …
