Outstanding Thesis Awarded to Francisco Javier Virgili
April 18th, 0000Outstanding Thesis
The 2008 recipient for the Outstanding Thesis Award in the College of Sciences is Francisco Javier Virgili. His thesis, entitled, “Monte Carlo Analysis of the Luminosity Function of Gamma Ray Bursts,” applies the Monte Carlo simulation technique to constrain gamma-ray burst (GRB) luminosity function (number of GRBs as a function their luminosities) using a set of observational criteria. In particular, he focused on the possibility that low-luminosity GRBs might form a distinct new component. This is a theoretical investigation with the application of observational data.

“Astronomy is something that you cannot apply directly to our daily life, but just to satisfy this human curiosity of thousands of years, of how planets were formed, how the stars form and die. GRBs are actually the great link to understanding all these things.”

Abstract
Gigantic cosmological 
-ray bursts have fallen into a dichotomy of long and short bursts, each with a very different origin. The discovery of an oddball burst calls for a rethink of that classification.
