A 450-day Light Curve of the Radio Afterglow of GRB 970508: Fireball Calorimetry
We report on the results of an extensive monitoring campaign of the radio afterglow of GRB 970508, lasting 450 days after the burst. The spectral and temporal radio behavior indicate that the fireball has undergone a transition to sub-relativistic expansion at t ∼ 100 days. This allows us to perform “calorimetry” of the explosion. The derived total energy, E0 ∼ 5 × 10 50 erg is well below the ∼...
متن کاملShocked by GRB 970228: the afterglow of a cosmological fireball
The location accuracy of the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras and acute ground-based followup have led to the detection of a decaying afterglow in X rays and optical light following the classical gamma-ray burst GRB 970228. The afterglow in X rays and optical light fades as a power law at all wavelengths. This behaviour was predicted for a relativistic blast wave that radiates its energy when it dec...

ساموئل بکت بیشتر از هر نویسنده دیگری در نیم? دوم قرن بیستم با گفتارش زمان? ما را به آستان? از هم پاشیدگی کشانده است، آستانه ای که در آن مدرنیته با سرانجام گریزان اما غیرقابل اجتناب خود مواجه می شود. در این تحقیق روی مفهوم فردیت و محو آن در دوران پسامدرن تاکید شده و در طی آن سعی شده است که فردیت مدرن و پسامدرن در رمان های سه گانه بکت بررسی گردد. تحقیق حاضر یک بررسی کتابخانه ای و کیفی بر روی سه ر...
15 صفحه اولThe Redshift of Grb 970508
GRB 970508 is the second gamma-ray burst (GRB) for which an optical afterglow has been detected. It is the first GRB for which a distance scale has been determined: absorption and emission features in spectra of the optical afterglow place GRB 970508 at a redshift of z ≥ 0.835 (Metzger et al. 1997a, 1997b). The lack of a Lyman-α forest in these spectra further constrains this redshift to be les...
متن کاملThe unusual X-ray light curve of GRB 080307: the onset of the afterglow?
Swift-detected GRB 080307 showed an unusual smooth rise in its X-ray light curve around 100 s after the burst, at the start of which the emission briefly softened. This ‘hump’ has a longer duration than is normal for a flare at early times and does not demonstrate a typical flare profile. Using a two-component power-law-to-exponential model, the rising emission can be modelled as the onset of t...
