ApJL, acc. 6/3/98 SPECTRAL FEATURES FROM ULTRARELATIVISTIC IONS IN GAMMA-RAY BURSTS ?
نویسنده
چکیده
Gamma ray burst outflows may entrain small blobs or filaments of dense, highly ionized metal rich material. Such inhomogeneities, accelerated by the flow to Lorentz factors in the range 10-100, could have a significant coverage factor, and give rise to broad features, especially due to Fe K-edges, which influence the spectrum below the MeV range, leading to a progressively decreasing hardness ratio.

Spectral Features from Ultrarelativistic Ions in Gamma - Ray Bursts ?
Gamma ray burst outflows may entrain small blobs or filaments of dense, highly ionized metal rich material. Such inhomogeneities, accelerated by the flow to Lorentz factors in the range 10-100, could have a significant coverage factor, and give rise to broad features, especially due to Fe K-edges, which influence the spectrum below the MeV range, leading to a progressively decreasing hardness r...
متن کاملAcceleration at Relativistic Shocks in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Most recent extragalactic models of gamma-ray bursts consider the expansion of a relativistic blast wave, emanating from a solar-mass type progenitor, into the surrounding interstellar medium as the site for their activity. The popular perception is that the optical afterglows result from the external shock interface, while the prompt transient gamma-ray signal arises from multiple shocks inter...

We discuss the formation of spectral features in the decelerating ejecta of gamma-ray bursts, including the possible effect of inhomogeneities. These should lead to blueshifted and broadened absorption edges and resonant features, especially from H and He. An external neutral ISM could produce detectable H and He, as well as Fe X-ray absorption edges and lines. Hypernova scenarios may be diagno...
متن کاملCosmic rays acceleration at ultrarelativistic subshocks
We present the model of cosmic rays acceleration at ultrarelativistic subshocks and confront it with the observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and blazars. We investigate cosmic rays acceleration in shocks with Lorentz factors (γ) in the range 3 40. We show that fluctuations of the magnetic field downstream of the shock do not play an important role in the acceleration process. Results of num...
متن کاملPrompt and Delayed High-Energy Emission from Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts
In the cosmological blast-wave model for gamma ray bursts (GRBs), high energy ( > ∼10 GeV) γ rays are produced either through Compton scattering of soft photons by ultrarelativistic electrons, or as a consequence of the acceleration of protons to ultrahigh energies. We describe the spectral and temporal characteristics of high energy γ rays produced by both mechanisms, and discuss how these pro...
