Journal ArticleDOI
A link between prompt optical and prompt γ-ray emission in γ-ray bursts
W. T. Vestrand,P. R. Wozniak,Jim Wren,E. E. Fenimore,T. Sakamoto,Robert White,Donald E. Casperson,H. Davis,S. M. Evans,M. Galassi,Katherine E. McGowan,J. A. Schier,J. W. Asa,Scott Barthelmy,Jay Cummings,Neil Gehrels,D. Hullinger,Hans A. Krimm,C. B. Markwardt,Kirsty J. McLean,David Palmer,A. M. Parsons,Jack Tueller +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported a new optical component to internal shocks driven into the burst ejecta by variations of the inner engine, which is correlated with the prompt γ-rays, indicating a common origin for the optical light and the γrays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy input and response from prompt and early optical afterglow emission in γ-ray bursts
W. T. Vestrand,Jim Wren,P. R. Wozniak,R. Aptekar,S. Golentskii,V. Pal'shin,T. Sakamoto,Robert White,Scott Evans,Donald E. Casperson,E. E. Fenimore +10 more
TL;DR: The taxonomy of optical emission detected during the critical first few minutes after the onset of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) defines two broad classes: prompt optical emission correlated with prompt gamma ray emission, and early optical afterglow emission uncorrelated with the gamma radiation emission as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The troublesome broadband evolution of GRB 061126: Does a gray burst imply gray dust?

TL;DR: In this paper, a gamma-ray burst (GRB 061126) with an extremely bright (R ≈ 12 mag at peak) early-time optical afterglow was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An open experimental database for exploring inorganic materials.
Andriy Zakutayev,Nick Wunder,Marcus Schwarting,John D. Perkins,Robert White,Kristin Munch,William Tumas,Caleb Phillips +7 more
TL;DR: The HTEM database may enable scientists to explore materials by browsing web-based user interface and an application programming interface, and this manuscript illustrates how advanced machine learning algorithms can be adopted to materials science problems using this open data resource.

TL;DR: Hawryluk et al. as mentioned in this paper described the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) experiments on high-temperature plasmas, that culminated in the study of deuterium-to-tritium D-T Plasmas containing significant populations of energetic alpha particles, spanned over two decades from conception to completion.
