Theoretical Models of Gamma-Ray Bursts
نویسنده
چکیده
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 of the mechanisms giving rise to the bursts.

The Synoptic Swift Synergy – Catching Gamma-Ray Bursts Before They Fly
The advent of large panoramic photometric surveys of the sky offers the possibly of exploring the association of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with supernovae. To date, a few gamma-ray bursts have been connected possibly with supernovae: GRB 980425 – SN 1998bw, GRB 011121 – SN 2001ke, GRB 970228 and GRB 980326. A combination of a large detection rate of GRBs and rapid coverage of a large portion of t...

متن کاملThe Birthplaces of Gamma-Ray Bursts
We use population synthesis to construct distributions of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for different proposed progenitor models. We use a description of star formation that takes into account the evolution of metallicity with redshift and galaxy mass, the evolution of galaxy mass with redshift, and the star formation rate with galaxy mass and redshift. We compare predicted distributions with redshif...
متن کاملModel-independent Multi-variable Gamma-ray Burst Luminosity Indicator and Its Possible Cosmological Implications
Without imposing any theoretical models and assumptions, we investigate the possible multi-variable relationships among several direct observable quantities of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), including the isotropic energy of the prompt gamma-ray emission (Eγ,iso), the rest-frame peak energy in the νFν spectrum (E ′ p), and the rest-frame break time in the optical afterglow light curves (t ′ b) using ...
متن کاملX-ray Lines in Gamma-ray Bursts and Cerenkov Line Mechanism
X-ray emission and absorption features are of great importance in our understanding the nature and environment of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). So far, iron emission lines have been detected in at least four GRB afterglows. In this paper, the observational properties and physical constraints on materials surrounding GRB sources are reviewed, and several classes of theoretical models are also discuss...
