• The Observed Offset Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts from Their Host Galaxies: A Robust Clue to the Nature of the Progenitors (2000, background): “…the surface of neutron stars in and around our Galaxy (see Lamb 1995 for a review), though by the mid-1990s the isotropic distribution of GRBs on the sky (see Fishman & Meegan 1995) served as the cornerstone of mounting evidence suggesting an extragalactic origin (see Paczyński 1995 for a review).”
• The Supernova Gamma-Ray Burst Connection (2006, background): “…and spectra of cosmic GRBs are very diverse, they can be broadly categorized on the basis of duration and power spectrum into two groups (Kouveliotou et al., 1993; Fishman and Meegan, 1995) — “short-hard” bursts with a median duration of 0.3 s, and “long-soft” bursts with a median duration of 20 s.”
• Theories of Gamma-Ray Bursts (2001, background): “Internal shocks (Rees & Mészáros 1994) address another problem, posed by some of the rapidly variable γ-ray light curves, which for total durations of tens to hundreds of seconds are, sometimes, endowed with variability down to milliseconds or less (Fishman & Meegan 1995).”
• Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Swift Era (2007, background): “The topic of GRBs has been extensively reviewed over the years (e.g., Fishman & Meegan 1995; Piran 1999; van Paradijs et al. 2000; Mészáros 2002; Lu et al. 2004; Zhang & Mészáros 2004; Piran 2005; Mészáros 2006).”
• GeV emission from gamma‐ray bursts: a radiative fireball? (2009, methodology): “3 shows the fluence in the LAT energy range 100 MeV – 100 GeV (using the fluxes listed in Tab.”
• Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (2013, unknown): “These include a review of GRBs in the BATSE era (Fishman & Meegan 1995); an early review of long GRB afterglow discoveries, the emerging GRB-supernova connection, and afterglowtheory (van Paradijs, Kouveliotou & Wijers 2000); comprehensive reviews of the prompt emission and afterglow theory…”
• A Standard Kinetic Energy Reservoir in Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows (2003, background): “Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) exhibit a remarkable diversity: fluences range from 10 7 to 10 3 ergs cm 2, peak energies range from 50 keV to an MeV, and possibly from the X-ray to the GeV band (Fishman & Meegan 1995), and durations extend from about 2 to 103 s (for the longduration GRBs).”
• The Propagation and Eruption of Relativistic Jets from the Stellar Progenitors of Gamma-Ray Bursts (2003, background): “However, because they are much less luminous, their log N–log S distribution would not exhibit the same roll over attributed in GRBs to seeing the ‘‘edge’’ of the distribution (e.g., Fishman & Meegan 1995).”
• Is Thermal Emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts Ubiquitous? (2005, background): “It was early recognized that the spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have a non-thermal character, with emission over a broad energy range (e.g. Fishman & Meegan (1995)).”
• How Massive Single Stars End Their Life (2002, background): “Currently two classes of GRBs are distinguished: long and short bursts (Fishman & Meegan 1995).”
