The GRB Prompt Emission: An Unsolved Puzzle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent multi-messenger and multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have encouraged renewed interest in these energetic events. In spite the substantial amount data accumulated during past few decades, nature prompt emission remains an unsolved puzzle. We present overview leading models for their phase, focusing on perspective opened by future missions.

Swift measure GRB prompt emission radii ?
The Swift X-Ray Telescope often observes a rapidly decaying X-ray emission stretching to as long as t ∼ 10 3 seconds after a conventional prompt phase. This component is most likely due to a prompt emission viewed at large observer angles θ > 1/Γ, where θ ∼ 0.1 is a typical viewing angle of the jet and Γ ≥ 100 is the Lorentz factor of the flow during the prompt phase. This can be used to estima...
متن کاملPrompt GRB emission from gradual energy dissipation
I calculate the emission expected from a Poynting-flux-dominated gamma-ray burst (GRB) flow in which energy is dissipated gradually by magnetic reconnection. In this picture, the energy of the radiating particles is determined by heating and cooling balance (slow heating model). Detailed radiative transfer calculations show that, at Thomson optical depths of order of unity, the dominant radiati...
متن کاملThe Theory of Spectral Evolution of the Grb Prompt Emission
We develop the theory of jitter radiation from GRB shocks containing small-scale magnetic fields and propagating at an angle with respect to the line of sight. We demonstrate that the spectra vary considerably: the low-energy photon index, α, ranges from 0 to −1 as the apparent viewing angle goes from 0 to π/2. Thus, we interpret the hard-to-soft evolution and the correlation of α with the phot...
متن کاملPhakellistatins: An Underwater Unsolved Puzzle
A critical summary on the discovery of the nineteen members of the phakellistatin family (phakellistatin 1-19), cytotoxic proline-rich cyclopeptides of marine origin, is reported. Isolation, structural elucidation, and biological properties of the various-sized natural macrocycles are described, along with the total syntheses and the enigmatic issues of the cytotoxic activity reproducibility.
متن کاملThe prompt emission & peculiar break of GRB 060124
— Our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 060124 shows the unusual behaviour of the decaying lightcurve as well as supporting the recently proposed phenomenon of long-lasting central engine activity. The prompt X-ray emission displays uncommonly well resolved flaring behaviour, with spectral evolution – indicative of central engine activity – which allows us to estimate the energy injection time f...
