Master’s Thesis: The Family Tree of GRBs

My Masters thesis for Data Science at the College of Charleston. In a nutshell, it is a method of clustering GRB lightcurves. Check out the PDF! Title: A Search for Self-Similarities in BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Emissions Using Agglomerative Clustering Abstract: We present a new method for categorizing Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) emission episodes with similar light […]

Smoke and Mirrors: Time-Reversed Structures in GRBs

Smoke and Mirrors: Signal-to-Noise and Time-Reversed Structures in Gamma-Ray Burst Pulse Light Curves We demonstrate that the `smoke’ of limited instrumental sensitivity smears out structure in gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulse light curves, giving each a triple-peaked appearance at moderate signal-to-noise and a simple monotonic appearance at low signal-to-noise. We minimize this effect by studying six […]
