The realization that GRBs are narrowly beamed implied that the actual rate of GRBs is much larger than the observed one. There are 500 unobserved GRBs for each observed one. The lack of a clear trigger makes it hard to detect these…
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are thought to originate at cosmological distances from the most powerful explosions in the Universe. If GRBs are not beamed then the distribution of their number as a function of Gamma-ray flux implies that they…
Gamma Ray Bursts as recent GRB990123 and GRB990510 are observed to occur in cosmic volumes with a corresponding output reaching, for isotropic explosions, energies as large as two solar masses annihilation. These energies are underestimated…
A long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) has been widely thought to arise from the collapse of a massive star, and it has been suggested that its ambient medium is a homogenous interstellar medium (ISM) or a stellar wind. There are two shocks…
Based on a refined generic dynamical model, we investigate afterglows from jetted gamma-ray burst (GRB) remnants numerically. In the relativistic phase, the light curve break could marginally be seen. However, an obvious break does exist at…
This paper reports on the results of a numerical investigation designed to address how the initially anisotropic appearance of a GRB remnant is modified by the character of the circumburst medium and by the possible presence of an…
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are at cosmological distance, they appear to be located near star forming regions, and are likely associated with some type of supernovae. They are also likely to be strongly beamed, which lowers their…
We study the spectral signatures arising from cooling and recombination of an interstellar medium whose equilibrium state has been altered over \sim 100 pc by the radiation of a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) and its afterglow. We identify…
We calculate the expected envelope of emission for relativistic shells under the assumption of local spherical symmetry. Gamma-Ray Burst envelopes rarely conform to the expected shape, which is similar to a FRED; a fast rise and exponential…
Progenitor stars of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) could be surrounded by a significant and complex nebula structure lying at a parsec scale distance. After the initial release of energy from the GRB jet, the jet will interact with this…
Gamma-ray bursts with long durations are widely thought to arise from the collapse of massive stars, where the wind environment is unavoidable. It is also believed that $\gamma$-ray bursts come from jets. Considering these two points in…
A gamma-ray burst (GRB) releases an amount of energy similar to that of a supernova explosion, which combined with its rapid variability suggests an origin related to neutron stars or black holes. Since these compact stellar remnants form…
The detection of the delayed emission in X-ray, optical and radio band, i.e. the afterglow of $\gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs), suggestes that the sources of GRBs are likely to be at cosmological distances. Here we explore the interaction of a…
The time evolution of a Gamma-ray burst (GRB) is associated with the evolution of a supernova remnant (SNR). The time evolution of the flux of a GRB is modeled introducing a law for the density of the medium in the advancing layer. The…
We present the results of our investigation of the multiwavelength data on HESS J1303-631, an unidentified TeV source serendipitously discovered in the Galactic plane by the HESS collaboration. These results strongly suggest the…
We present an analytical approach to the dynamical evolution of fireballs or axially symmetric jets expanding into an external medium, with application to Gamma-Ray Burst remnants. This method leads to numerical calculations of fireball…
By now there is substantial evidence that Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) originate at cosmological distances from very powerful explosions. The interaction between a GRB and its surrounding environment has dramatic consequences on the environment…
We estimate the fraction of the total energy in a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) that is radiated in photons during the main burst. Random internal collisions among different shells limit the efficiency for converting bulk kinetic energy to photons.…
There is growing evidence that long and hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), discovered at redshifts between 0.4 and 3.4, are related to some type of supernova (SN) explosions. The GRB ejecta are ultra-relativistic, and possibly beamed. There is a…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are short and intense bursts of $\sim$100 keV$-$1MeV photons, usually followed by long-lasting decaying afterglow emission in a wide range of electromagnetic wavelengths from radio to X-ray and, sometimes, even to GeV…
