Many have followed since then. • All long GRBs located in star-forming galaxies • All long GRBs located in regions with massive stars • Coincident type Ic supernova observed in one case → Long bursts are associated with supernovae. However, short GRBs long eluded localization, and no similar conclusions could be made. Daniel Perley Short Bursts 9 November 2005

Mass: 7 × 1014 g (mc2 = 5 × 1035 erg) → Distance: ~few parsecs Burst duration: <50-200 ms cannot explain most short bursts Daniel Perley Short Bursts 9 November 2005

Catastrophic magnetic field reorganization. Some previous flares: - 5 March 1979 event: 4 × 1044 ergs (SGR 0526-66, LMC) 0.2 s - 27 August 1998 event: 8 × 1043 ergs (SGR 1900+14) 0.2 s Duration and hardness consistent with short GRBs. Distance for GRB: 4 Mpc (Virgo cluster: 20 Mpc) But could there be much larger flares? Daniel Perley Short Bursts 9 November 2005

(long ringing 'tail' would not be detectable at great distance) Distance for GRB: 30 Mpc (Virgo cluster: 20 Mpc) Magnetars all young: ~104 year lifetime (restricted to star-forming galaxies/regions) Repetition possible over long time scales Daniel Perley Short Bursts 9 November 2005

Systems known to exist (binary pulsars) Must eventually merge. Post-merger object quickly collapses to black hole Very high angular momentum of system : accretion disk forms; falls onto black hole. G M2 R Gravitational binding energy: ~ 1053 erg → Mpc/Gpc distances Timescale for collapse: <~1 second Daniel Perley Short Bursts 9 November 2005

Neutron star is tidally disrupted into accretion disk; falls onto black hole. Gravitational binding energy: MNSc2 ~ 1054 erg → Mpc/Gpc distances Timescale for accretion: <~1 second Supernovae can 'kick' binary out of Galaxy. Daniel Perley Short Bursts 9 November 2005

Collapse of iron core of highly massive star to black hole + accretion of material (0.1-5 Msun). Relativistic jet penetrates stellar envelope Energies ~ 1050 erg : cosmological distances Fallback time for stellar core: ~few seconds too slow for short GRBs. Significant uncertanties in calculation; Breakout flash could be shorter? Massive stars short-lived: would be bound to star-forming regions (like long GRBs) Daniel Perley Short Bursts 9 November 2005

Chance alignment probability very small. inside galaxy cluster: 3% within 45" of center: 0.07% (no long GRB ever seen in a cluster) Additional arguments: • Extremely short duration even for short GRBs – putting at high redshift (z~2) requires unrealistically short intrinsic duration. • Energetics of putting at high-z similarly difficult for very short durations.
