Journal ArticleDOI
Late Time Afterglow Observations Reveal a Collimated Relativistic Jet in the Ejecta of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
Davide Lazzati,Rosalba Perna,Brian J. Morsony,Diego Lopez-Camara,Matteo Cantiello,Matteo Cantiello,Riccardo Ciolfi,Bruno Giacomazzo,Jared C. Workman +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that structured jets with a relativistic, energetic core surrounded by slower and less energetic wings produce afterglow emission that brightens characteristically with time, as recently seen in the after glow of GW170817.
Journal ArticleDOI
PHASE TRANSITIONS AND He-SYNTHESIS-DRIVEN WINDS IN NEUTRINO COOLED ACCRETION DISKS: PROSPECTS FOR LATE FLARES IN SHORT GAMMA-RAY BURSTS
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the long-term evolution of debris following the tidal disruption of compact stars in the context of short gamma ray bursts and find that powerful winds are launched from the surface of the disk, driven by the recombination of free nucleons into α-particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Off-axis prompt X-ray transients from the cocoon of short gamma-ray bursts
Davide Lazzati,Diego Lopez-Camara,Matteo Cantiello,Brian J. Morsony,Rosalba Perna,Jared C. Workman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of numerical simulations of the prompt emission of short-duration gamma-ray bursts are presented, and the distance at which such transients can be detected depends sensitively on the assumptions that are made about the radiation spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulations of gamma-ray burst jets in a stratified external medium: dynamics, afterglow light curves, jet breaks, and radio calorimetry
Fabio De Colle,Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz,Jonathan Granot,Jonathan Granot,Jonathan Granot,Diego Lopez-Camara +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present simulations of the dynamics of gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets and the resulting afterglow emission for both uniform and stratified external media with ρext ∝ r −k for k = 0, 1, 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-Dimensional Adaptive Mesh Refinement Simulations of Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst Jets inside Massive Progenitor Stars
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of special relativistic, adaptive mesh refinement, 3D simulations of gamma-ray burst jets expanding inside a realistic stellar progenitor.
