On the Source and Location of Temporal Variability in Fireballs

چکیده

Most cosmological models for γ-ray bursts (GRBs) invoke the production of a “fireball” 1−3 in a compact region, as indicated by the short time variability of the observed GRBs. The high density of ee pairs in such fireballs inevitably makes them opaque to γ-rays and requires the γ-ray emission to take place only after the fireball has expanded and became optically thin to γ’s. Many of the “traditional” scenarios explain the temporal variability of GRBs as being formed by growing instabilities in the expanding fireball. Here we explore this possiblity and examine its validity. Piran et al. have shown that generally, after a short rearrangement phase in relativistic fireballs, most of the matter and energy are concentrated in a narrow shell. Because of the relativistic beaming, only a small angular part of the shell with an angular size of θ ≈ 1/γ is seen by a distant observer, where γ = 1/ √

Impact of spatial-temporal variations of climatic variables on summer maize yield in North China Plain

Summer maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the dominant crops in the North China Plain (NCP). Its growth is greatly influenced by the spatial-temporal variation of climatic variables, especially solar radiation, temperature and rainfall. The WOFOST (version 7.1) model was applied to evaluate the impact of climatic variability on summer maize yields using historical meteorological data from 1961 to 20...

Long-term spatial and temporal variability of ambient carbon monoxide in Urmia, Iran

One of the pillars of epidemiologic research on the long-term health effects of air pollution is to estimate the chronic exposures over space and time. In this study, we aimed to measure the intra-urban ambient carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations within Urmia city in Iran, and to build a model within the geographic information system (GIS) to estimate the annual and seasonal means anywhere with...
