Cosmic Explosions: The Beasts and Their Lair
The diversity of stellar death is revealed in the energy, velocity and geometry of the explosion debris ("ejecta"). Using multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows I show that GRBs, arising from the death of massive stars, are marked by relativistic, collimated ejec...
