The physics of gamma-ray bursts & relativistic jets

P Kumar, B Zhang - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

Short-hard gamma-ray bursts

E Nakar - Physics Reports, 2007 - Elsevier
Two types of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are observed: short-duration hard spectrum GRBs
and long-duration soft spectrum GRBs. For many years long GRBs were the focus of intense …

On the synchrotron self-Compton emission from relativistic shocks and its implications for gamma-ray burst afterglows

R Sari, AA Esin - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the effects of inverse Compton scattering of synchrotron photons from
relativistic electrons in γ-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. We compute the spectrum of the inverse …
