Gamma-ray burst prompt emission variability in synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton light curves
Gamma-ray burst prompt emission is believed to originate from electrons accelerated in a highly relativistic outflow. Internal shocks, which are a result of collisions between shells ejected by the central engine, are the leading candidates for electron acceleration. While synchrotron radiation is generally invoked to interpret prompt gamma-ray emission within the internal shock model, the sync...
متن کاملPrompt GeV emission in the synchrotron self-Compton model for Gamma-Ray Bursts
The detection in 10 bursts of an optical counterpart emission (i.e. during the prompt GRB phase) that is 10−104 brighter than the extrapolation of the burst spectrum to optical frequencies suggests a synchrotron self-Compton origin for the GRB emission, synchrotron producing the optical counterpart emission. In this model, the second upscattering of the burst photons yields a prompt GeV–TeV emi...
متن کاملVariability in the synchrotron self-Compton model of blazar emission
We present a model of the spectra of gamma-ray emitting blazars in which a single homogeneous emission region both emits synchrotron photons directly and scatters them to high (gamma-ray) energy before emission (a ‘synchrotron self-Compton’ or SSC model). In contrast to previous work, we follow the full time dependent evolution of the electron and photon spectra, assuming a power-law form of th...
متن کاملCompton scattering of self-absorbed synchrotron emission
Synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) scattering is an important emission mechanism in many astronomical sources, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei. We give a complete presentation of the analytical approximations for the Compton scattering of synchrotron emission with both weak and strong synchrotron self-absorption. All possible orders of the characteristic synchrotron spect...
متن کاملA synchrotron self-Compton model for the VHE gamma-ray emission from Cen A
The H.E.S.S. experiment has reported the detection of very high energy (VHE: E > 100GeV) γ-ray emission from the well-known radio-galaxy Cen A. Following this discovery, we refine the previous multi-blob synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model applied to the multi-wavelength emission from this source using the new H.E.S.S. data. The prediction of the VHE γ-ray level of emission for Cen A presented...
