Afterglow Emission from Naked Gamma-ray Bursts
We calculate the afterglow emission for Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) going off in an extremely low density medium, referred to as naked bursts. Our results also apply to the case where the external medium density falls off sharply at some distance from the burst. The observed afterglow flux in this case originates at high latitudes, i.e. where the angle between the fluid velocity and the observer li...
متن کاملObservations of the Soft Gamma-Ray early Afterglow emission from Two Bright Gamma-ray Bursts
We present the results of observations of the soft gamma-ray early afterglows with the energy above 100 keV from two bright Gamma-ray bursts detected by the PHEBUS instrument of the GRANAT orbital observatory. We show that the light curves of GRB 910402 and GRB 920723 events present the afterglow emission with fading fluxes. During our observations (∼ 700 s) for these gamma-ray bursts the after...
متن کاملOff-axis Afterglow Emission from Jetted Gamma-ray Bursts
We calculate gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow light curves from a relativistic jet as seen by observers at various viewing angles, vobs, relative to the jet axis. We describe three increasingly more realistic models and compare the resulting light curves. An observer at , where v0 is the initial jet opening angle, should see v ! v obs 0 a light curve very similar to that for an on-axis observer....
متن کاملHigh Energy Afterglow Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We calculate the very high energy (sub-GeV to TeV) inverse Compton emission of GRB afterglows. We argue that this emission provides a powerful test of the currently accepted afterglow model. We focus on two processes: synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission within the afterglow blast wave, and external inverse Compton (EIC) emission which occurs when flare photons (produced by an internal proce...
متن کاملSoft X-ray Emission Lines in the Early Afterglow of Gamma-ray Bursts
We compute the luminosity of Kα emission lines produced by astrophysically abundant elements in the soft X-ray spectra of the early afterglow of gamma-ray bursts. We find that the detection of these lines can be a diagnostic for the geometrical set-up of the reprocessing material. In particular we can distinguish between a “geometry dominated” model, in which the line emission is coming from an...
