Gamma-ray Burst Beaming: a Universal Configuration with a Standard Energy Reservoir?
We consider a gamma-ray burst (GRB) model based on an anisotropic fireball with an axisymmetric energy distribution of the form ǫ(θ) ∝ θ, and allow for the observer’s viewing direction being at an arbitrary angle θv with respect to the jet axis. This model can reproduce the key features expected from the conventional on-axis uniform jet models, with the novelty that the achromatic break time in...
متن کاملPlasmonic Structures with Extraordinary Transmission and Highly Directional Beaming Properties
We studied the grating–coupling phenomena between surface plasmons and electromagnetic waves in the microwave spectrum. We first present the experimental and theoretical results of an enhanced microwave transmission though a subwavelength circular annular aperture with and without metallic gratings. We demonstrate that a 145-fold enhancement factor could be obtained with a subwavelength circula...
متن کاملBeaming Visible Light with a Plasmonic Aperture Antenna
We investigate experimentally the parameter space defining, in the visible range, the far-field diffraction properties of a single circular subwavelength aperture surrounded by periodic circular grooves milled on a metallic film. Diffraction patterns emerging from such an antenna are recorded under parallel- and perpendicular-polarized illumination at a given illumination wavelength. By monitor...
متن کاملBeaming in Gamma-ray Bursts: Evidence for a Standard Energy Reservoir
We present a comprehensive sample of all gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows with known distances, and we derive their conical opening angles based on observed broadband breaks in their light curves. Within the framework of this conical jet model, we correct for the geometry and we find that the gamma-ray energy release is narrowly clustered around ergs. We draw three conclusions. First, the centr...
متن کاملImproving the Efficiency of a Thermionic Energy Converter Using Dual Electric Fields and Electron Beaming
Experiments have been conducted on a dual electric grid thermionic device to investigate an alternative method of space charge mitigation in a thermionic energy convertor (TEC). Two electric grids, the attractor and deflector grids, provide opposing electric fields to overcome space charge while minimizing power losses to the attractor grid. Electron beams are formed in the electrode gap provid...
