Gamma Ray Pulsars: Observations
High-energy gamma rays are a valuable tool for studying particle acceleration and radiation in the magnetospheres of energetic pulsars. The six or more pulsars seen by CGRO/EGRET show that: the light curves usually have double-peak structures (suggesting a broad cone of emission); gamma rays are frequently the dominant component of the radiated power; and all the spectra show evidence of a high...

High-energy gamma rays are a valuable tool for studying particle acceleration and radiation in the magnetospheres of energetic pulsars. The seven or more pulsars seen by instruments on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) show that: the light curves usually have double-peak structures (suggesting a broad cone of emission); gamma rays are frequently the dominant component of the radiated pow...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts - When Theory Meets Observations
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the brightest objects observed. They are also the most relativistic objects known so far. GRBs occur when an ultrarelativisitic ejecta is slowed down by internal shocks within the flow. Relativistic particles accelerated within these shocks emit the observed gamma-rays by a combination of synchrotron and inverse Compton emission. External shocks with the circumstella...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Burst afterglows: theory and observations
I discuss some theoretical expectations for the synchrotron emission from a relativistic blast-wave interacting with the ambient medium, as a model for GRB afterglows, and compare them with observations. An afterglow flux evolving as a power-law in time, a bright optical flash during and after the burst, and light-curve breaks owing to a tight ejecta collimation are the major predictions that w...
متن کاملMultiwavelength Gamma-Ray Bursts Observations with ECLAIRs
ECLAIRs is the next space borne instrument that will be fully dedicated to multiwavelength studies of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). It consists of a coded mask telescope with a wide (∼2 sr) field of view, made of 6400 CdTe pixels (∼1000 cm2), which will work in the 4– 300 keV energy band. It is expected to localise ∼80 GRBs/yr, thanks to the on-board real time event processing. The GRBs (and other t...
