Can Fireball or Firecone Models Explain Gamma Ray Bursts?
نویسنده
چکیده
The observed afterglows of gamma ray bursts (GRBs), in particular that of GRB 970228 six months later, seem to rule out relativistic fireballs and relativistic firecones driven by merger or accretion induced collapse of compact stellar objects in galaxies as the origin of GRBs. GRBs can be produced by superluminal jets from such events.

Can Fireball Models Explain Gamma Ray Bursts?
The observed afterglows of gamma ray bursts, in particular that of GRB 970228 six months later, rule out spherical explosions powered by mergers or accretion induced collapse of compact stellar objects in galaxies as the origin of Gamma Ray Bursts. They can be produced by superluminal jets from such sources.
متن کاملFireball and Cannonball Models of Gamma-Ray Bursts Confront Observations
The two leading contenders for the theory of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows, the Fireball and Cannonball models, are compared and their predictions are confronted, within space limitations, with key observations, including recent observations with SWIFT.
متن کاملOptical and Long Wavelength Afterglow from Gamma-ray Bursts
We discuss the evolution of cosmological gamma-ray burst remnants, consisting of the cooling and expanding fireball ejecta together with any swept-up external matter, after the gamma-ray event. We show that significant optical emission is predicted which should be measurable for timescales of hours after the event, and in some cases radio emission may be expected days to weeks after the event. ...
متن کامل6 v 1 3 1 D ec 1 99 2 Two Populations and Models of Gamma Ray Bursts
Gamma-ray burst statistics are best explained by a source population at cosmological distances, while spectroscopy and intensity histories of some individual bursts imply an origin on Galactic neutron stars. To resolve this inconsistency I suggest the presence of two populations, one at cosmological distances and the other Galactic. I build on ideas of Shemi and Piran (1990) and of Mészáros and...
متن کاملTheoretical Models of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Models of gamma ray bursts are reviewed in the light of recent observations of afterglows which point towards a cosmological origin. The physics of fireball shock models is discussed, with attention to the type of light histories and spectra during the gamma-ray phase. The evolution of the remnants and their afterglows is considered, as well as their implications for our current understanding o...
