Generation of Magnetic Fields in the Relativistic Shock of Gamma-ray-burst Sources
We show that the relativistic two-stream instability can naturally generate strong magnetic fields with 10–10 of the equipartition energy density, in the collisionless shocks of Gamma-Ray-Burst (GRB) sources. The generated fields are parallel to the shock front and fluctuate on the very short scale of the plasma skin depth. The synchrotron radiation emitted from the limb-brightened source image...
متن کاملDo Gamma-ray Burst Sources Repeat?
The demonstration of repeated gamma-ray bursts from an individual source would severely constrain burst source models. Recent reports (Quashnock and Lamb 1993; Wang & Lingenfelter 1993; Ryan et al. 1994) of evidence for repetition in the first BATSE burst catalog have generated renewed interest in this issue. Here, we analyze the angular distribution of 585 bursts of the second BATSE catalog (M...
متن کاملSTRONG MgII SYSTEMS IN QUASAR AND GAMMA-RAY BURST SPECTRA
The incidence of strong MgII systems in gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra is a few times higher than in quasar (QSO) spectra. We investigate several possible explanations for this effect, including: dust obscuration bias, clustering of the absorbers, different beam sizes of the sources, multiband magnification bias of GRBs, association of the absorbers with the GRB event or the circumburst environm...
متن کاملJa n 19 93 GASDYNAMICS OF RELATIVISTICALLY EXPANDING GAMMA - RAY BURST SOURCES : KINEMATICS , ENERGETICS , MAGNETIC FIELDS AND EFFICIENCY
We calculate both analytically and numerically the evolution of a highly rel-ativistic fireball through the stages of free expansion and coasting, and determine the dependence of the thermodynamic and radiation variables in the comoving and laboratory frames. Magnetic fields may have been important in the original impulsive event. We discuss their effect on the fireball dynamics, and consider a...
متن کاملEmission Spectra from Internal Shocks in Gamma-Ray-Burst Sources
Unsteady activity of γ-ray burst sources leads to internal shocks in their emergent relativistic wind. We study the emission spectra from such shocks, assuming that they produce a power-law distribution of relativistic electrons and posses strong magnetic fields. The synchrotron radiation emitted by the accelerated electrons is Compton up-scattered multiple times by the same electrons. A substa...
