Cosmological gamma-ray bursts and the highest energy cosmic rays.
We discuss a scenario in which the highest energy cosmic rays (CR's) and cosmological-ray bursts (GRB's) have a common origin. This scenario is consistent with the observed CR ux above 10 20 eV, provided that each burst produces similar energies in-rays and in CR's above 10 20 eV. Protons may be accelerated by Fermi's mechanism to energies 10 20 eV in a dissipative, ultra-relativistic wind, wit...
متن کاملGamma Ray Bursts as Possible High Energy Sources
Gamma-ray bursts are known to be sources of high-energy γ rays, and are likely to be sources of high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos. Following a short review of observations of GRBs at multi-MeV energies and above, the physics of leptonic and hadronic models of GRBs is summarized. Evidence for two components in BATSE and EGRET/TASC data suggest that GRBs are sources of high-energy cosmic rays...
متن کاملCosmological Uses of Gamma - Ray Bursts
Studies of the cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their host galaxies are starting to provide interesting or even unique new insights in observational cosmology. GRBs represent a new way of identifying a population of star-forming galaxies at cosmological redshifts. GRB hosts are broadly similar to the normal field galaxy populations at comparable redshifts and magnitudes, and indicate at most ...
متن کاملCosmological Time Dilation in Gamma Ray Bursts?
Norris et al. (1994) report that the temporal structure of faint gamma ray bursts is longer than that of bright bursts, as expected for time dilation in the cosmological models of burst origin. I show that the observed trends can easily be produced by a burst luminosity function and thus may not result from cosmological effects. A cosmological signature may be present, but the tests Norris et a...
متن کامل5 Gamma Ray Bursts as cosmological tools
The use of Gamma Ray Bursts as “standard candles” has been made possible by the recent discovery of a very tight correlation between their rest frame intrinsic properties. This correlation relates the GRB prompt emission peak spectral energy Epeak to the energy Eγ corrected for the collimation angle θjet of these sources. The possibility to use GRBs to constrain the cosmological parameters and ...
