Introducing the CTA concept

B. S. Acharya, +982 more
TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) as discussed by the authors is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma ray observatory with an international collaboration with more than 1000 members from 27 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.

Extragalactic Background Light from Hierarchical Galaxy Formation: Gamma-Ray Attenuation up to the Epoch of Cosmic Reionization and the First Stars

TL;DR: Yinoue et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a semi-analytical model of hierarchical galaxy formation that reproduces key observed properties of galaxies at various redshifts, including the potential contribution from Population III stars and following the cosmic reionization history.

Teraelectronvolt emission from the γ-ray burst GRB 190114C

Victor A. Acciari, +178 more
- 21 Nov 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the teraelectronvolt emission from the γ-ray burst GRB 190114C was observed in the energy range 0.2 − 1 teralectron volt from about one minute after the burst (at more than 50 standard deviations in the first 20 minutes), revealing a distinct emission component with power comparable to that of the synchrotron component.

The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission

Neil Gehrels, +77 more
TL;DR: The Swift mission as discussed by the authors is a multi-wavelength observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy, which is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite for transient astronomy and pioneers the way for future rapid-reaction and multiwavelength missions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The physics of gamma-ray bursts

TL;DR: A review of the current theoretical understanding of the physical processes believed to take place in GRB's can be found in this article, where the authors focus on the afterglow itself, the jet break in the light curve, and the optical flash that accompanies the GRB.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Supernova Gamma-Ray Burst Connection

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that most long-duration soft-spectrum gamma-ray bursts are accompanied by massive stellar explosions (GRB-SNe) and that most of the energy in the explosion is contained in nonrelativistic ejecta (producing the supernova) rather than in the relativistic jets responsible for making the burst and its afterglow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma-ray bursts

TL;DR: In this article, the interplay between these observations and theoretical models of the prompt gamma-ray burst and its afterglow is reviewed, and a model of the burst's origin and mechanism is proposed.
