High-energy γ-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts
GRBs are nowadays a rather well understood phenomenon in the soft (KeV-MeV) γ-ray energy band, while only a few GRBs have been observed at high photon energies (Eγ ∼ 1 GeV). It is also widely recognized that GRBs accelerate protons to relativistic energies and that dense media are often present nearby the sources. Within this framework and by further adopting Totani’s suggestion that GRB events...
متن کاملPrompt Emission of High Energy Photons from Gamma Ray Bursts
Within the internal shock scenario we consider different mechanisms of high energy photon production inside a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) fireball and derive the expected high energy photon spectra from individual GRBs during the prompt phase. The photon spectra of leptonic and hadronic origins are compared within different sets of parameter regimes. Our results suggest that the high energy emission ...
متن کاملHigh Energy Afterglow Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We calculate the very high energy (sub-GeV to TeV) inverse Compton emission of GRB afterglows. We argue that this emission provides a powerful test of the currently accepted afterglow model. We focus on two processes: synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission within the afterglow blast wave, and external inverse Compton (EIC) emission which occurs when flare photons (produced by an internal proce...
متن کاملSearch for High Energy Neutrino Emission from Gamma - Ray Bursts
The photo-meson production of pions by shock-accelerated protons could generate a burst of ∼ 10 14 eV neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observable in the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) or its larger successors. Measurement of this flux can test the hypothesis that GRBs are the sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays, and GRB neutrinos could permit high-precision expe...
متن کاملPrompt High-Energy Emission from Proton-Dominated Gamma-Ray Bursts
The prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is widely thought to be radiation from accelerated electrons, but an appreciably larger amount of energy could be carried by accelerated protons, particularly if GRBs are the sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We model the expected photon spectra for such “proton-dominated” GRBs in the internal shock scenario through Monte Carlo sim...
