Off-Axis Gamma Ray Burst Contribution to the Diffuse Gamma Ray Background in the 100-600 keV Range

Creator:

Hodges, Isaac

Abstract:

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are short, intense pulses of gamma rays that emit radiation in a narrow beam. Unless the beam is oriented towards the observer, it is often difficult to resolve the bursts against the diffuse gamma ray background (DGRB). The DGRB is a measured source of gamma rays...

Deriving relationships between number of observed short gamma ray bursts and viewing angle

Creator:

Micallef, John T.

Abstract:

Gamma ray bursts are some of the brightest events in the entire observable universe. Since the late 1960’s, thousands of gamma ray bursts have been observed and they have been researched extensively. However, there are still many mysteries which remain unsolved. One such mystery is whether or not the viewing...
