Short-duration gamma-ray bursts
E Berger - Annual review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
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 …

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 protomagnetar model for gamma-ray bursts
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the core collapse of massive stars,
but the identity of the central engine remains elusive. Previous work has shown that rapidly …

In the beginning: the first sources of light and the reionization of the universe
The formation of the first stars and quasars marks the transformation of the universe from its
smooth initial state to its clumpy current state. In popular cosmological models, the first …
