Constraining dark energy with gamma - ray bursts
We use the cosmology-independent gamma-ray burst (GRB) distances of Wang (2008) to constrain dark energy cosmological model parameters. Current GRB data alone can not tightly constrain cosmological parameters and allow for a wide range of dark energy models. When used jointly with current Type Ia supernovae data and baryon acoustic peak measurements, the GRB data favor slightly lower values of ...
متن کاملProbing 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 کاملSwift Identification of Dark Gamma-ray Bursts
We present an optical flux vs. X-ray flux diagram for all known gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which an X-ray afterglow has been detected. We propose an operational definition of dark bursts as those bursts that are optically subluminous with respect to the fireball model, i.e., which have an optical-to-X-ray spectral index βOX < 0.5. Out of a sample of 52 GRBs we identify 5 dark bursts. The defin...
متن کاملDust and dark Gamma-Ray Bursts: mutual implications
In a cosmological context dust has been always poorly understood. That is true also for the statistic of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) so that we started a program to understand its role both in relation to GRBs and in function of z. This paper presents a composite model in this direction. The model considers a rather generic distribution of dust in a spiral galaxy and considers the effect of changin...
متن کاملHow Special Are Dark Gamma-Ray Bursts: A Diagnostic Tool
We present here a comprehensive study of the optical/near-infrared (IR) upper limits for gamma-ray bursts that have an X-ray afterglow. We have extrapolated the X-ray afterglows to optical wavelengths based on the physics of the fireball blast wave model (e.g. Rees & Mészáros 1992; Mészáros & Rees 1997), and compared these results with optical upper limits for a large sample of bursts. We find ...
