  1. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO)

  2. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB)

  3. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) No two gamma-ray bursts are the same

  4. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB)

  5. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) The first optical images, taken with the Herschel-telescope, of the gamma-ray burst that was discovered at February 28 of 1997.

  6. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) Long duration bursts – Gamma Ray Bursts that last more than 2 seconds. Short-duration bursts – Gamma Ray Bursts that last less than 2 seconds.

  7. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) Model for Long Duration Bursts Collapsar Model – The core of a massive star rapidly collapses into a black hole. In doing so, a shock wave is created in the same way as in a supernova, but the amount of gravitational energy is very large near the event horizon. An especially violent supernova occurs, shedding high energy photons (gamma rays). Hypernova – the especially violent supernova associated with gamma bursts.

  8. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) Model for Short Duration Bursts Binary Neutron Star Model – Gamma bursts created by the collision and coalescence of two neutron stars. Energy in the form of gamma rays is created for relatively short time periods in the collision process.

  9. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) Swift GRB Mission Latest NASA mission launched in November 2004. It is studying GRBs with more sensitivity than other instruments.

  10. Gamma Ray Bursts Sprites – Curious (non astronomical gamma rays)
