Gamma-ray bursts are some of the most powerful explosions in the universe. Short gamma ray bursts are caused by the merger of two neutron stars. However, not all short gamma-ray bursts are associated with galaxies. In this podcast, Brendan O'connor, a graduate student at George Washington University, described recent research into the host galaxies of short gamma-ray bursts. Bios: - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona.. - Brendan O'connor is a 6th year PhD student in the Department of Physics at The George Washington University working in collaboration with scientists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the University of Maryland, College Park. His research is in the field of time domain and transient astrophysics. In particular, he is interested in the formation and evolution of high energy transients and their progenitors, and uses a variety of optical, infrared, and X-ray observatories to study transient phenomena across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Identifying the physical origin of gamma-ray bursts with supervised machine learning by Jia-Wei Luo et al. on Wednesday 30 November The empirical classification of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) into long and short GRBs based on their durations is already firmly established. This empirical classification is generally linked to the physical classification of GRBs originating from compact binary mergers and GRBs originating from massive star collapses, or Type I and II GRBs, with the majority of short GRBs belonging to Type I and the majority of long GRBs belonging to Type II. However, there is a significant overlap in the duration distributions of long and short GRBs. Furthermore, some intermingled GRBs, i.e., short-duration Type II and long-duration Type I GRBs, have been reported. A multi-wavelength, multi-parameter classification scheme of GRBs is evidently needed. In this paper, we seek to build such a classification scheme with supervised machine learning methods, chiefly XGBoost. We utilize the GRB Big Table and Greiner's GRB catalog and divide the input features into three subgroups: prompt emission, afterglow, and host galaxy. We find that the prompt emission subgroup performs the best in distinguishing between Type I and II GRBs. We also find the most important distinguishing feature in prompt emission to be $T_{90}$, hardness ratio, and fluence. After building the machine learning model, we apply it to the currently unclassified GRBs to predict their probabilities of being either GRB class, and we assign the most probable class of each GRB to be its possible physical class. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.16451v1

Constraints on the Model of Gamma-ray Bursts and Implications from GRB 221009A: GeV gamma rays v s High-energy Neutrinos by Ruo-Yu Liu et al. on Tuesday 29 November Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are generally believed to be efficient particle accelerators. In the presence of energetic protons in a GRB jet, interactions between these protons and intense radiation field of the GRB are supposed to induce electromagnetic cascade. Electrons/positrons generated in the cascade will produce an additional spectrum of robust feature, which is in the form of a power-law distribution up to GeV regime with an index of $lesssim 2$. We suggest that measurements of Fermi-LAT at GeV band can provide independent constraints on the key GRB model parameters such as the dissipation radius, the jet's bulk Lorentz factor, and the baryon loading factor. Taking GRB 221009A, the brightest GRB ever detected, as an example, we show that the constraints from GeV gamma-ray emission may be more stringent than that from the neutrino observation, providing us a deep insight into the origin of GRBs. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.14200v1

Density Profiles of Collapsed Rotating Massive Stars Favor Long Gamma-Ray Bursts by Goni Halevi et al. on Wednesday 23 November Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (lGRBs) originate in relativistic collimated outflows -- jets -- that drill their way out of collapsing massive stars. Accurately modeling this process requires realistic stellar profiles for the jets to propagate through and break out of. Most previous studies have used simple power laws or pre-collapse models for massive stars. However, the relevant stellar profile for lGRB models is in fact that of a star after its core has collapsed to form a compact object. To self-consistently compute such a stellar profile, we use the open-source code GR1D to simulate the core-collapse process for a suite of low-metallicity, rotating, massive stellar progenitors that have undergone chemically homogeneous evolution. Our models span a range of zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) masses: $M_mathrm{ZAMS} = 13, 18, 21, 25, 35, 40$, and $45 M_odot$. All of these models, at the onset of core-collapse, feature steep density profiles, $rho propto r^{-alpha}$ with $alphaapprox 2.5$, which would result in jets that are inconsistent with lGRB observables. We follow the collapse of four out of our seven models until they form BHs and the other three proto-neutron stars (PNSs). We find, across all models, that the density profile outside of the newly-formed BH or PNS is well-represented by a flatter power law with $alpha approx 1.35{-}1.55$. Such flat density profiles are conducive to successful formation and breakout of BH-powered jets and, in fact, required to reproduce observable properties of lGRBs. Future models of lGRBs should be initialized with shallower textit{post-collapse} stellar profiles like those presented here instead of the much steeper pre-collapse profiles that are typically used. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.11781v1
Gravitational Waves from the Propagation of Long Gamma-Ray Burst jets by Gerardo Urrutia et al. on Wednesday 23 November Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced during the propagation of ultra-relativistic jets. It is challenging to study the jet close to the central source, due to the high opacity of the medium. In this paper, we present numerical simulations of relativistic jets propagating through a massive, stripped envelope star associated to long GRBs, breaking out of the star and accelerating into the circumstellar medium. We compute the gravitational wave (GW) signal resulting from the propagation of the jet through the star and the circumstellar medium. We show that key parameters of the jet propagation can be directly determined by the GW signal. The signal presents a first peak corresponding to the jet duration and a second peak which corresponds to the break-out time for an observer located close to the jet axis (which in turn depends on the stellar size), or to much larger times (corresponding to the end of the acceleration phase) for off-axis observers. We also show that the slope of the GW signal before and around the first peak tracks the jet luminosity history and the structure of the progenitor star. The amplitude of the GW signal is $h_+D sim$ hundreds to several thousands cm. Although this signal, for extragalactic sources, is outside the range of detectability of current GW detectors, it can be detected by future instruments as BBO, DECIGO and ALIA. Our results illustrate that future detections of GW associated to GRB jets may represent a revolution in our understanding of this phenomenon. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.00129v2
Constrains on the physics of the prompt emission from a distant and energetic gamma-ray burst GRB 220101A by Alessio Mei et al. on Wednesday 23 November The emission region of $rm gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs) is poorly constrained. The uncertainty on the size of the dissipation site spans over 4 orders of magnitude ($rm 10^{12}-10^{17}$ cm) depending on the unknown energy composition of the GRB jets. The joint multi-band analysis from soft X-rays to high energies (up to $rm sim$ 1 GeV) of one of the most energetic and distant GRB 220101A (z = 4.618) allows us for an accurate distinction between prompt and early afterglow emissions. The enormous amount of energy released by GRB 220101A ($rm E_{iso} approx 3 times10^{54}$ erg) and the spectral cutoff at $rm E_{cutoff} = 85_{-26}^{+16}$ MeV observed in the prompt emission spectrum constrains the parameter space of GRB dissipation site. We put stringent constraints on the prompt emission site, requiring $rm 700

All of these models, at the onset of core-collapse, feature steep density profiles, $rho propto r^{-alpha}$ with $alphaapprox 2.5$, which would result in jets that are inconsistent with lGRB observables. We follow the collapse of four out of our seven models until they form BHs and the other three proto-neutron stars (PNSs). We find, across all models, that the density profile outside of the newly-formed BH or PNS is well-represented by a flatter power law with $alpha approx 1.35{-}1.55$. Such flat density profiles are conducive to successful formation and breakout of BH-powered jets and, in fact, required to reproduce observable properties of lGRBs. Future models of lGRBs should be initialized with shallower textit{post-collapse} stellar profiles like those presented here instead of the much steeper pre-collapse profiles that are typically used. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.11781v1
Gravitational Waves from the Propagation of Long Gamma-Ray Burst jets by Gerardo Urrutia et al. on Tuesday 22 November Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced during the propagation of ultra-relativistic jets. It is challenging to study the jet close to the central source, due to the high opacity of the medium. In this paper, we present numerical simulations of relativistic jets propagating through a massive, stripped envelope star associated to long GRBs, breaking out of the star and accelerating into the circumstellar medium. We compute the gravitational wave (GW) signal resulting from the propagation of the jet through the star and the circumstellar medium. We show that key parameters of the jet propagation can be directly determined by the GW signal. The signal presents a first peak corresponding to the jet duration and a second peak which corresponds to the break-out time for an observer located close to the jet axis (which in turn depends on the stellar size), or to much larger times (corresponding to the end of the acceleration phase) for off-axis observers. We also show that the slope of the GW signal before and around the first peak tracks the jet luminosity history and the structure of the progenitor star. The amplitude of the GW signal is $h_+D sim$ hundreds to several thousands cm. Although this signal, for extragalactic sources, is outside the range of detectability of current GW detectors, it can be detected by future instruments as BBO, DECIGO and ALIA. Our results illustrate that future detections of GW associated to GRB jets may represent a revolution in our understanding of this phenomenon. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.00129v2
Prospects for constraining interacting dark energy models from gravitational wave and gamma ray burst joint observation by Wan-Ting Hou et al. on Monday 21 November With the measurement of the electromagnetic (EM) counterpart, a gravitational wave (GW) event could be treated as a standard siren. As a novel cosmological probe, the standard siren will bring significant implications for cosmology. In this paper, by considering the coincident detections of GW and associated $gamma$ ray burst (GRB), we find that only about 400 GW bright standard sirens from binary neutron star mergers could be detected in a 10-year observation of the Einstein Telescope and the THESEUS satellite mission. Based on this mock sample, we investigate the implications of GW standard sirens on the interaction between dark energy and dark matter. In our analysis, four viable interacting dark energy (IDE) models, with interaction forms $Q=3beta H rho_{mathrm{de}}$ and $Q=3 beta H rho_{mathrm{c}}$, are considered. Compared with the traditional EM observational data such as CMB, BAO, and SN Ia, the combination of both GW and EM observations could effectively break the degeneracies between different cosmological parameters and provide more stringent cosmological fits. We also find that the GW data could play a more important role for determining the interaction in the models with $Q=3 beta H rho_{mathrm{c}}$, compared with the models with $Q=3beta H rho_{mathrm{de}}$. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.10087v1
Neutrinos from the Brightest Gamma-Ray Burst? by Kohta Murase et al. on Monday 21 November We discuss implications that can be obtained by searches for neutrinos from the brightest gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A. We derive constraints on GRB model parameters such as the cosmic-ray loading factor and dissipation radius, taking into account both neutrino spectra and effective areas. The results are strong enough to constrain proton acceleration near the photosphere, and we find that the single burst limits are comparable to those from stacking analysis. Quasithermal neutrinos from subphotospheres and ultrahigh-energy neutrinos from external shocks are not yet constrained. We show that GeV-TeV neutrinos originating from neutron collisions are detectable, and urge dedicated analysis on these neutrinos with DeepCore and IceCube as well as ORCA and KM3NeT. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.15625v2

The latest way immigration smugglers are trying to recruit more help is by advertising on social media apps such as TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Posts are promising hundreds or thousands of dollars for a few hours of driving. The problem is, the recruits often don't know what they are in for until they are close, picking up migrants by the border and driving them inland. Alicia Caldwell, immigration reporter at the WSJ, joins us for what to know. Next, scientists have been very excited after detecting what could be one of the most powerful explosions of its kind ever seen in space. Space telescopes picked up a bright Gamma Ray Burst 2.4 billion light-years away that could have been triggered by a star exploding in a supernova and possibly creating a black hole. Miriam Kramer, space reporter at Axios, joins us for all the latest space news. Finally, marijuana use is becoming the new normal for young adults. As more states continue to legalize cannabis and the stigma surrounding it wears off, more Americans are lighting up. A big part of the growth is coming from young women as more companies are offering products geared toward them. This November, 5 more states have marijuana on the ballot. Daniel de Visé, reporter at The Hill, joins us for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finding high-redshift gamma-ray bursts in tandem near-infrared and optical surveys by S. Campana et al. on Tuesday 18 October The race for the most distant object in the Universe has been played by long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), star-forming galaxies and quasars. GRBs took a temporary lead with the discovery of GRB 090423 at a redshift z=8.2, but now the record-holder is the galaxy GN-z11 at z=11.0. Despite this record, galaxies and quasars are very faint (GN-z11 has a magnitude H=26), hampering the study of the physical properties of the primordial Universe. On the other hand, GRB afterglows are brighter by a factor of >100, with the drawback of lasting only for 1-2 days. Here we describe a novel approach to the discovery of high-redshift (z>6) GRBs, exploiting their near-infrared (nIR) emission properties. Soon after the bright, high-energy prompt phase, a GRB is accompanied by an afterglow. The afterglows of high-redshift GRBs are naturally absorbed, like any other source, at optical wavelengths by Hydrogen along the line of sight in the intergalactic medium (Lyman-alpha absorption). We propose to take advantage of the deep monitoring of the sky by the Vera Rubin Observatory, to simultaneously observe exactly the same fields with a new, dedicated nIR facility. By comparing the two streams of transients, one can pinpoint transients detected in the nIR band and not in the optical band. These fast transients detected only in the nIR and with an AB colour index r-H>3.5 are high-redshift GRBs, with a low contamination rate. Thanks to the depth reached by the Rubin observations, interlopers can be identified, allowing us to discover ~11 GRBs at z>6 per year and ~3 GRBs per year at z>10. This turns out to be one of the most effective probes of the high-redshift Universe. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.09749v1
Probing particle acceleration at trans-relativistic shocks with off-axis gamma-ray burst afterglows by Kazuya Takahashi et al. on Tuesday 18 October Particle acceleration is expected to be different between relativistic and non-relativistic collisionless shocks. We show that electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves (GWs), gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, are ideal targets for observing trans-relativistic evolution of accelerated electron distribution because the GWs spot nearby GRBs with off-axis jets, otherwise missed in gamma-ray observations. We find that the relativistic spectral slope begins to change steeply near the peak time of the light curve and approaches the non-relativistic limit in about 10 times the peak time. The trans-relativistic evolution of the afterglow synchrotron spectrum is consistent with GRB 170817A observations within errors, and will be measurable in similar but more distant events at a GW horizon $sim 200$ Mpc in a denser environment. We roughly estimate that such events represent a fraction of 10-50 per cent of the GRB 170817A-like off-axis short GRBs. We also find that the spectral evolution does not depend on the jet structure if their light curves are similar to each other. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.06274v2

Search for Quasi-Periodical Oscillations in Precursors of Short and Long Gamma Ray Bursts by Shuo Xiao et al. on Monday 17 October The precursors of short and long Gamma Ray Bursts (SGRBs and LGRBs) can serve as probes of their progenitors, as well as shedding light on the physical processes of mergers or core-collapse supernovae. Some models predict the possible existence of Quasi-Periodically Oscillations (QPO) in the precursors of SGRBs. Although many previous studies have performed QPO search in the main emission of SGRBs and LGRBs, so far there was no systematic QPO search in their precursors. In this work, we perform a detailed QPO search in the precursors of SGRBs and LGRBs detected by Fermi/GBM from 2008 to 2019 using the power density spectrum (PDS) in frequency domain and Gaussian processes (GP) in time domain. We do not find any convinced QPO signal with significance above 3 $sigma$, possibly due to the low fluxes of precursors. Finally, the PDS continuum properties of both the precursors and main emissions are also studied for the first time, and no significant difference is found in the distributions of the PDS slope for precursors and main emissions in both SGRBs and LGRBs. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08491v1
