    • Compact binaries, hypernovae, and GRBs 

      Davies, M.B.; Levan, A. (2010)
      The collapse of a massive stellar core may lead to the production of a black hole surrounded by a torus of material. Such a system is a potential source for the so-called long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A torus will form ...

    • Praesepe - two merging clusters? 

      Holland, K.; Jameson, Richard F.; Hodgkin, S.; Davies, M.B.; Pinfield, D.J. (2000-12-11)
      A membership catalogue for Praesepe was compiled and split into four mass bins. A contour plot indicates the presence of a subcluster some 3 pc from the centre of the cluster, of approximately 30 M-circle dot. A tidally ...

    • Short GRBs in old populations: Magnetars from WD-WD mergers 

      Levan, A.; Wynn, G.; Chapman, R.; Davies, M.B.; King, A.R.; Priddey, R.; Tanvir, N. (2006)

    • Soft Gamma Repeaters and Short Gamma Ray Bursts: Making Magnetars from WD WD Mergers 

      Chapman, R.; Levan, A.; Priddey, R.; Tanvir, N.; Wynn, G.; King, A.R.; Davies, M.B. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007)
      Recent progress on the nature of short duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) has shown that a fraction of them originate in the local universe. These systems may well be the result of giant flares from Soft Gamma Repeaters ...
