• The Proto-Magnetar Model for Gamma-Ray Bursts (2010, background): “…mysteries associated with shortduration GRBs is that ∼> 1/4 are followed by a ‘tail’ of emission (usually soft X-rays) starting ∼ 10 seconds after the GRB and lasting for ∼ 30− 100 seconds (Norris & Bonnell 2006; Gehrels et al. 2006; Gal-Yam et al. 2006; Perley et al. 2009; Norris et al. 2010).”
• The physics of gamma-ray bursts & relativistic jets (2014, background): “A systematic study suggests that long-GRBs occur in the brightest region of the host galaxy, suggesting a very high specific star to the compact star GRB category (Gehrels et al., 2006; Gal-Yam et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2007b).”
• Gamma-ray burst afterglows (2006, background): “Motivated by the discovery of the spectrally evolving tails in GRB 050724 (Campana et al. 2006b) and GRB 060614 (Gehrels et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2007a), recently Zhang et al. (2007c) performed a systematic time-dependent spectral analysis of 17 bright steep decay tails.”
• The Observer's Guide to the Gamma-Ray Burst-Supernova Connection (2016, background): “Circumstantial evidence for the compact object merger origins of SGRBs [323, 324], include their locations in elliptical galaxies, the lack of associated supernovae (as observed for LGRBs) [325, 326, 327, 328], the distribution of explosion-site offsets relative to their host galaxies (0.”
• The prompt-afterglow connection in gamma-ray bursts: a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light curves (2012, background): “The same is true for the peculiar long GRB060614, later re-classified as a possible short GRB (Gehrels et al. 2006).”
• Short-duration gamma-ray bursts with extended emission from protomagnetar spin-down (2007, background): “This Swift burst showed no energy-dependent time lag (Gehrels et al. 2006) and, like GRB060615, no SN was detected down to an optical brightness ∼ 100 times fainter than SN1998bw (Gal-Yam et al. 2007).”
