The plateau phase of gamma-ray burst afterglows in the thick-shell scenario
We present analytic calculations of synchrotron radiation from the forward and the reverse shock of gamma-ray burst blast waves, in the thick-shell scenario (i.e. when the reverse shock is relativistic). We show that this scenario can naturally account for the plateau phase, observed early in the afterglows of about half the bursts detected by Swift. We generalize our approach to include power-...
متن کاملGamma-ray burst models.
I consider various possibilities for making gamma-ray bursts, particularly from close binaries. In addition to the much-studied neutron star+neutron star and black hole+neutron star cases usually considered good candidates for short-duration bursts, there are also other possibilities. In particular, neutron star+massive white dwarf has several desirable features. These systems are likely to pro...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Gamma-ray Burst Spectral Break Models
Typical gamma-ray burst spectra are characterized by a spectral break, Ep, which for bright BATSE bursts is found to be narrowly clustered around 300 keV. Recently identified X-ray flashes, which may account for a significant portion of the whole GRB population, seem to extend the Ep distribution to a broader range below 40 keV. Positive correlations among Ep and some other observed parameters ...
متن کاملThe Onset of Gamma-ray Burst Afterglow
Wediscuss the reference time t0 of afterglow light curves in the context of the standard internal-external shockmodel. The decay index of early afterglow is very sensitive to the reference time one chooses. In order to understand the nature of early afterglow, it is essential to take a correct reference time. Our simple analytic model provides a framework for understanding special relativistic ...
متن کاملCosmological Parametrization of Gamma Ray Burst Models
Using three parametrizations of the gamma ray burst count data comparison is made to cosmological source models. While simple models can fit 〈V/Vmax〉 and faint end slope constraints, the addition of a logarithmic count range variable describing the curvature of the counts shows that models with no evolution or evolution power law in redshift with index less than 10 fail to satisfy simultaneousl...
