BEAMING IN GAMMA-RAY BURSTS: EVIDENCE FOR A STANDARD ENERGY RESERVOIR
- D. Frail, S. Kulkarni, +11 authors F. Chaffee
- Physics
- 15 February 2001
We present a comprehensive sample of all gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows with known distances, and we derive their conical opening angles based on observed broadband breaks in their light curves.… Expand
A photometric redshift of z ∼9.4 for GRB 090429B
- A. Cucchiara, A. Levan, +33 authors P. D'Avanzo
- Physics, Computer Science

TLDR
Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
- E. Berger
- Physics
- 11 November 2013
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) display a bimodal duration distribution with a separation between the short- and long-duration bursts at about 2 s. The progenitors of long GRBs have been identified as… Expand
A Decade of Short-duration Gamma-ray Burst Broadband Afterglows: Energetics, Circumburst Densities, and jet Opening Angles
- W. Fong, E. Berger, R. Margutti, B. Zauderer
- Physics
- 9 September 2015
We present a comprehensive catalog and analysis of broad-band afterglow observations for 103 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), comprised of all short GRBs from November 2004 to March 2015 with… Expand
The Complete Light-curve Sample of Spectroscopically Confirmed SNe Ia from Pan-STARRS1 and Cosmological Constraints from the Combined Pantheon Sample
- D. Scolnic, D. Jones, +37 authors K. Smith

Author(s): Scolnic, DM; Jones, DO; Rest, A; Pan, YC; Chornock, R; Foley, RJ; Huber, ME; Kessler, R; Narayan, G; Riess, AG; Rodney, S; Berger, E; Brout, DJ; Challis, PJ; Drout, M; Finkbeiner, D;… Expand
Relativistic ejecta from X-ray flash XRF 060218 and the rate of cosmic explosions
- A. Soderberg, S. Kulkarni, +22 authors P. J. McCarthy
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 18 April 2006
Over the past decade, long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs)—including the subclass of X-ray flashes (XRFs)—have been revealed to be a rare variety of type Ibc supernova. Although all these events result… Expand
A common origin for cosmic explosions inferred from calorimetry of GRB030329
- E. Berger, S. Kulkarni, +8 authors P. Price
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 11 August 2003
Past studies have suggested that long-duration γ-ray bursts have a ‘standard’ energy of Eγ ≈ 1051 erg in the ultra-relativistic ejecta, after correcting for asymmetries in the explosion (‘jets’). But… Expand
A γ-ray burst at a redshift of z ≈ 8.2
Long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to result from the explosions of certain massive stars, and some are bright enough that they should be observable out to redshifts of z > 20 using… Expand
An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova
- A. Soderberg, E. Berger, +40 authors D. G. York
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 13 February 2008
Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions—supernovae—that synthesize new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Historically, supernovae were discovered mainly through their… Expand
The Binary Neutron Star Event LIGO/Virgo GW170817 160 Days after Merger: Synchrotron Emission across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
- R. Margutti, K. Alexander, +17 authors J. Zrake
- Physics
- 10 January 2018
We report deep Chandra, HST and VLA observations of the binary neutron star event GW170817 at $t<160$ d after merger. These observations show that GW170817 has been steadily brightening with time and… Expand
