From the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope to July 9, 2010, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has detected 497 probable GRB events. Twenty-two of these satisfy the simultaneous requirements of an estimated burst direction within…
We present DM-power, a new method for precisely determining the dispersion measure (DM) of radio bursts, and apply it to the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) source FRB~20180916B. Motivated by the complex structure on multiple time scales seen in…
We present an algorithm capable of detecting diffuse, dim sources of any size in an astronomical image. These sources often defeat traditional methods for source finding, which expand regions around points of high intensity. Extended…
Possibly the only unambiguous verification that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are at cosmological distances would be the observation of multiple images of a gravitationally lensed burst. Each images would arrive at a different time, but exhibit…
Distributed quantum sensing (DQS) leverages quantum resources to estimate an unknown global property of a networked quantum sensor beyond the classical limit. We propose and analyze an all-optical resource-efficient scheme for the…
A linear analytical solution is derived for the gravitational shock wave produced by a particle of mass $M$ that decays into a pair of null particles. The resulting space-time is shown to be unperturbed and isotropic, except for a…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are powerful transient events that emit a large output of gamma rays within a few seconds. Studying these short bursts is vital for cosmological research since they originate from sources observed at large redshifts.…

After almost 4 years of operation, the two instruments onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have shown that the number of gamma-ray bursts with high energy photon emission above 100 MeV cannot exceed roughly 9% of the total number of…
Homodyne detection is one of the ways to circumvent the standard quantum limit for a gravitational wave detector. In this paper it will be shown that the same quantum-non-demolition effect using homodyne detection can be realized by…
The GRAINE project observes cosmic gamma-rays, using a balloon-borne emulsion-film-based telescope in the sub-GeV/GeV energy band. We reported in our previous balloon experiment in 2018, GRAINE2018, the detection of the known brightest…
Recently, both theoretical arguments and observational evidence suggested that a small fraction of fast radio bursts (FRBs) could be associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). If such FRB/GRB association systems are commonly detected in the…
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) with jets seen at small viewing angles are the most luminous and abundant objects in the $\gamma$-ray sky. AGN with jets misaligned along the line-of-sight appear fainter in the sky, but are more numerous than…
We first comment on the search for a deviation from the linear photon dispersion relation, in particular based on cosmic photons from Gamma Ray Bursts. Then we consider the non-commutative space as a theoretical concept that could lead to…
A scheme for control and read-out of diffracted spins waves to propagating light fields is presented. Diffraction is obtained via sinusoidally varying lights shifts and ideal one-to-one mapping to light is realized using a gradient echo…

Gamma ray burst (GRB) objects are now widely thought to be at cosmological distances, and thus represent enormous energy emission. Gamma ray spectra extending to $GeV$ energies suggest the possiblity of accompanying neutrino emission, and…
