Gamma Ray Burst Afterglows and Host Galaxies
... Triumphs of Afterglow Studies Afterglows have demonstrated that: • Fireball models describe GRBs reasonably well; • GRBs are at cosmological distances; • GRB ejecta move relativistically; • GRBs occur in galaxies. • GRBs may be associated with the deaths of some (but not all!) high mass stars; • GR ...
