The Imprint of Gamma-ray Bursts over Cosmic Space and Time
The most luminous objects in our universe, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), are spectacular laboratories for investigating a number of unsolved problems in physics and astronomy. However, recent observations of both long and short GRBs have provided tantalizing evidence that our standard view of these powerful events is missing key physics. In this talk I will discuss a large multi-code effort to model gamma-ray bursts across many orders of magnitude in spatial and temporal scales. I will describe the framework of our code-linking techniques, and then present results on correlations within, and the cosmological evolution of, key GRB observables. I will show how these results can not only help us understand GRBs themselves, but the rates and evolution of massive stellar systems in general.

In this talk I will discuss a large multi-code effort to model gamma-ray bursts across many orders of magnitude in spatial and temporal scales.
