We systematically reanalyzed all Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow data published through the end of 2002, in an attempt to detect the predicted supernova light component and to gain statistical insight on its phenomenological properties. We…
Models for gamma-ray burst afterglow dynamics and synchrotron spectra are known to exhibit various scale invariances, owing to the scale-free nature of fluid dynamics and the power-law shape of synchrotron spectra. Since GRB 170817A,…
Based on the refined dynamical model proposed by us earlier for beamed $\gamma$-ray burst ejecta, we carry out detailed numerical procedure to study those $\gamma$-ray bursts with rapidly fading afterglows (i.e., $\sim t^{-2}$). It is found…
In gamma-ray burst research it is quite common to fit the afterglow light curves with a broken power law to interpret the data. We apply this method to a computer simulated population of afterglows and find systematic differences between…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are generally believed to occur in environments where the surrounding medium is either a uniform interstellar medium (ISM) or, in some cases, a dense stellar wind from a massive progenitor. Recently, GRB 191019A has…
The detection of an afterglow, following a gamma-ray burst (GRB), can be described reasonably well by synchrotron emission from a relativistic spherical expanding blast wave, driven by an expanding fireball. We perform detailed calculations…
In this paper, within the popular internal shock scenario of GRBs, we calculate the early optical afterglow lightcurves of a neutron-fed GRB fireball for different assumed neutron fractions in the fireball and for both ISM- and…
Numerical jet simulations serve a valuable role in calculating gamma-ray burst afterglow emission beyond analytical approximations. Here we present the results of high resolution 2D simulations of decelerating relativistic jets performed…
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets are narrow, and thus typically point away from us. They are initially ultra-relativistic, causing their prompt $\gamma$-ray and early afterglow emission to be beamed away from us. However, as the jet gradually…
(abridged) Afterglow light curves are constructed analytically for realistic gamma-ray burst remnants decelerating in either a homogeneous interstellar medium or a stellar wind environment, taking into account the radiative loss of the…
Most long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit afterglows broadly consistent with external forward-shock emission, typically described by smooth broken power-law decays in the multiband light curve. However, a minority of well-sampled GRBs…
The fluctuations observed in the light curves of some GRB-afterglows (such as GRB 021004) provide a useful tool to probe the circum-burst density profile and to probe the variations in the energy of blast-wave with time. We present a…
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows and kilonovae (KNe) are electromagnetic transients that can accompany binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. Therefore, studying their emission processes is of general interest for constraining cosmological…
We present a numerical investigation of the contribution of the presupernova ejecta of Wolf-Rayet stars to the environment surrounding gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and describe how this external matter can affect the observable afterglow…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at high redshifts are expected to be gravitationally lensed by objects of different mass scales. Besides a single recent claim, no lensed GRB has been detected so far by using the gamma-ray data only. In this paper,…
