Testing the Fireball/blastwave Model by Monitoring Afterglows from Soft Gamma Repeaters
نویسنده
چکیده
The popular fireball/blastwave model of classical γ-ray bursts is applied to soft γ-ray bursts. It is found that X-ray afterglows from strong events may be above their quiescent levels for 40 − 400 seconds. Optical afterglows may also be detectable. By monitoring the three repeaters, we will have an ideal way to check the fireball/blastwave model.

متن کاملAn Intrinsic Smoothing Mechanism For Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra in the Fireball Model
It is shown that differential Doppler shift of different patches of the blastwave front in the fireball model at varying angles to the line of sight could provide an intrinsic smoothing mechanism for the spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the associated afterglows at lower energy bands. For the model parameters of interest, it is illustrated that a monochromatic spectrum at ν in blastwave c...
متن کاملDiffuse high energy neutrinos and cosmic rays from hyperflares of soft-gamma repeaters
We calculate the diffuse high energy (TeV PeV) neutrino emission from hyperflares of Soft-Gamma Repeaters (SGRs), like the hyperflare risen from SGR 1806-20 on December 27 of 2004, within the framework of the fireball model. The fireball model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can explain well the main features of this hyperflare and the subsequent multi-frequency afterglow emission. The expected rat...
متن کاملBroadband modeling of gamma - ray burst afterglows
— According to the fireball model gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are the result of a shock pushed into the surrounding medium by an extremely relativistic outflow from the GRB. By modeling the broadband spectrum, ranging from X-ray to radio wavelengths, on time scales of hours to years after the GRB, we can determine several burst parameters, e.g. the burst energy, the circumburst medium dens...
