The association of GRB 060218 with a supernova and the evolution of the shock wave
- S. Campana, V. Mangano, +36 authors N. White
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 31 August 2006
Although the link between long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae has been established, hitherto there have been no observations of the beginning of a supernova explosion and its intimate link to a… Expand
Relativistic jet activity from the tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole
- D. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, +55 authors N. Gehrels
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 August 2011
Supermassive black holes have powerful gravitational fields with strong gradients that can destroy stars that get too close, producing a bright flare in ultraviolet and X-ray spectral regions from… Expand
A short γ-ray burst apparently associated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z = 0.225
- N. Gehrels, C. Sarazin, +74 authors R. Wijers
- Physics
- Nature
- 31 May 2005
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 typically observed at… Expand
Bright X-ray Flares in Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
- D. Burrows, P. Romano, +31 authors N. Gehrels
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 7 June 2005
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows have provided important clues to the nature of these massive explosive events, providing direct information on the nearby environment and indirect information on the… Expand
Swings between rotation and accretion power in a binary millisecond pulsar
- A. Papitto, C. Ferrigno, +20 authors G. Wong
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 16 May 2013
It is thought that neutron stars in low-mass binary systems can accrete matter and angular momentum from the companion star and be spun-up to millisecond rotational periods. During the accretion… Expand
Introducing the CTA concept
- B. S. Acharya, M. D. Actis, +980 authors P. Żychowski
- Physics
- 2013
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a new observatory for very high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. CTA has ambitions science goals, for which it is necessary to achieve full-sky coverage, to improve the… Expand
An origin for short γ-ray bursts unassociated with current star formation
- S. Barthelmy, G. Chincarini, +28 authors R. Wijers
- Physics
- Nature
- 18 November 2005
Two short (< 2 s) γ-ray bursts (GRBs) have recently been localized and fading afterglow counterparts detected. The combination of these two results left unclear the nature of the host galaxies of the… Expand
Swift Observations of GRB 070110: An Extraordinary X-Ray Afterglow Powered by the Central Engine
- E. Troja, G. Cusumano, +22 authors P. Schady
- Physics
- 8 February 2007
We present a detailed analysis of Swift multiwavelength observations of GRB 070110 and its remarkable afterglow. The early X-ray light curve, interpreted as the tail of the prompt emission, displays… Expand
THE DUST-SCATTERING X-RAY RINGS OF THE ANOMALOUS X-RAY PULSAR 1E 1547.0-5408
- A. Tiengo, G. Vianello, +14 authors N. Gehrels
- Physics
- 16 November 2009
On 2009 January 22 numerous strong bursts were detected from the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1547.0-5408. Swift/XRT and XMM-Newton/EPIC observations carried out in the following two weeks led to the… Expand
The First Survey of X-Ray Flares from Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by Swift: Temporal Properties and Morphology
