X-Ray Afterglows from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We consider possible interpretations of the recently detected X-ray afterglow from the gamma-ray burst source GRB 970228. Cosmological and Galactic models of gamma-ray bursts predict different flux and spectral evolution of X-ray afterglows. We show that models based on adiabatic expansion of relativistic forward shocks require very efficient particle energization or post-burst re-acceleration ...
متن کاملGamma Ray Bursts vs . Afterglows
When does a GRB stop and its afterglow be-gin? A GRB may be defined as emission by internal shocks and its afterglow as emission by an external shock, but it is necessary to distinguish them observationally. With these definitions irregularly varying emission (at any frequency) must be the GRB, but smoothly varying intensity is usually afterglow. The GRB itself and its afterglow may overlap in ...
متن کاملX-ray Afterglows of Gamma-ray Bursts
The afterglow emission has become the main stream of Gamma-Ray burst research since its discovery three years ago. With the distance-scale enigma solved, the study of the late-time GRB emission is now the most promising approach to disclose the origin of these explosions and their relationship with the environment of the host galaxy in the early phase of the Universe. In this contribution I wil...
متن کاملGamma-ray bursts: afterglows from cylindrical jets
Nearly all previous discussion on beaming effects in gamma-ray bursts have assumed a conical geometry. However, more and more observations on relativistic jets in radio galaxies, active galactic nuclei, and “microquasars” in the Galaxy have shown that many of these outflows are not conical, but cylindrical, i.e., they maintain constant cross sections at large scales. Thus it is necessary to dis...
متن کاملHigh-energy neutrinos from gamma ray bursts.
We treat high-energy neutrino production in gamma ray bursts (GRBs). Detailed calculations of photomeson neutrino production are presented for the collapsar model, where internal nonthermal synchrotron radiation is the primary target photon field, and the supranova model, where external pulsar-wind synchrotron radiation provides important additional target photons. Detection of greater, similar...
