Spectral Energy Distributions of Gamma Ray Bursts Energized by External Shocks

C. D. Dermer, M. Boettcher, J. Chiang

Sari, Piran, and Narayan have derived analytic formulas to model the spectra from gamma-ray burst blast waves that are energized by sweeping up material from the surrounding medium…

ASCA Observation of the quiescent X-ray counterpart to SGR1627-41

K. Hurley, T. Strohmayer, P. Li +9

We present a 2 - 10 keV ASCA observation of the field around the soft gamma repeater SGR1627-41. A quiescent X-ray source was detected in this observation whose position was consis…

Leptonic Jet Models of Blazars: Broadband Spectra and Spectral Variability

M. Boettcher

The current status of leptonic jet models for gamma-ray blazars is reviewed. Differences between the quasar and BL-Lac subclasses of blazars may be understood in terms of the domin…

A Keck High Resolution Spectroscopic Study of the Orion Nebula Proplyds

W. J. Henney, C. R. O'Dell

We present the results of spectroscopy of four bright proplyds in the Orion Nebula obtained at a velocity resolution of 6 km/s. After careful isolation of the proplyd spectra from…

GRB990123: The Case for Saturated Comptonization

E. P. Liang, A. Crider, M. Boettcher +1

The recent simultaneous detection of optical, X-ray and gamma-ray photons from GRB990123 during the burst provides the first broadband multi-wavelength characterization of the burs…

The External Shock Model of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Three Predictions and a Paradox Resolved

Charles D. Dermer, Markus Boettcher, J. Chiang

In the external shock model, gamma-ray burst (GRB) emissions are produced by the energization and deceleration of a thin relativistic blast wave due to its interactions with the ci…

The synchrotron peak shift during high-energy flares of blazars

M. Boettcher

A prediction for the energy shift of the synchrotron spectrum of flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) during high-energy flares is presented. If the -ray emission of FSRQs is pro…

Broadband Spectral Analysis of PKS 0528+134: A Report on Six Years of EGRET Observations

R. Mukherjee, M. Boettcher, R. C. Hartman +6

The multiwavelength spectra of PKS 0528+134 during six years of observations by EGRET have been analyzed using synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) and external radiation Compton (ERC) m…
