Probing dark gamma‐ray bursts with neutrinos
Highly relativistic jets are a key element of current gamma-ray burst (GRB) models, where the jet kinetic energy is converted to radiation energy at optically thin shocks. Mildly relativistic jets with smaller Lorentz factors are typically optically thick to gamma rays, and do not produce the spectacular GRB phenomenon. Jets which stall inside the progenitor similarly do not produce a GRB. Howe...
متن کاملProbing the Cosmic Metallicity Evolution with Gamma-Ray Bursts
The current Swift sample of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with measured redshifts allows to test the assumption that GRBs trace the star formation in the Universe. Some authors have claimed that the rate of GRBs increases with cosmic redshift faster than the star formation rate, whose cause is not known yet. In this paper, I investigate the possibility for interpreting the observed discrepancy betwee...
متن کاملSupernovae Shedding Light on Gamma-Ray Bursts
— We review the observational status of the Supernova (SN)/GammaRay Burst (GRB) connection. In section 2 we provide a short summary of the observational properties of core-collapse SNe. In sections 3-6 we review the circumstantial evidences and the direct observations that support the existence of a deep connection between the death of massive stars and GRBs. Present data suggest that SNe assoc...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts with ROSAT
I review the use of ROSAT over the last years for the investigation of well localized gamma-ray burst (GRB) error boxes. In particular, I cover (i) the systematic study of several dozens of IPN locations using the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey data, (ii) results of deep ROSAT pointings of selected small GRB error boxes, (iii) the attempts for and results of quick follow-up observations after GRB events ...
متن کاملCosmology with Gamma Ray Bursts
— Apparently, Gamma–Ray Bursts (GRBs) are all but standard candles. Their emission is collimated into a cone and the received flux depends on the cone aperture angle. Fortunately we can derive the aperture angle through an achro-matic steepening of the lightcurve of the afterglow, and thus we can measure the " true " energetics of the prompt emission. Ghirlanda et al. (2004) found that this col...
