The X-ray light curve of Gamma-ray bursts: clues to the central engine

M. G. Bernardini, R. Margutti, J. Mao +2

We present the analysis of a large sample of gamma-ray burst (GRB) X-ray light curves in the rest frame to characterise their intrinsic properties in the context of different theor…

Diversity of multiwavelength emission bumps in the GRB 100219A afterglow

J. Mao, D. Malesani, P. D'Avanzo +4

Context. Multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows provide important information about the activity of their central engines and their environments. In part…

GRB 081029: A Gamma-Ray Burst with a Multi-Component Afterglow

Stephen T. Holland, Massimiliano De Pasquale, Jirong Mao +12

We present an analysis of the unusual optical light curve of the gamma-ray burst GRB 081029, a long-soft burst with a redshift of z = 3.8479. We combine X-ray and optical observati…

Radiation Mechanisms and Physical Properties of GeV-TeV BL Lac Objects

Jin Zhang, En-Wei Liang, Shuang-Nan Zhang +1

BL Lac objects are the best candidates to study the jet properties since their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are less contaminated by the emission from the accretion disk an…

Radiation Mechanisms and Physical Properties of GeV-TeV BL Lac Objects

Jin Zhang, En-Wei Liang, Shuang-Nan Zhang +1

Broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are complied from literature for 24 TeV BL Lac objects. Two SEDs, which are identified as low and high states with their flux densiti…

Magnetic Energy Buildup for Relativistic Magnetar Giant Flares

Cong Yu

Motivated by coronal mass ejection studies, we construct general relativistic models of a magnetar magnetosphere endowed with strong magnetic fields. The equilibrium states of the…

On the external photon fields in Fermi bright blazars

Xiao-Yan Gao, Jian-Cheng Wang, Ming Zhou

The external Compton (EC) model is used to study the high energy emission of some blazars, in which the external photon field is considered to dominate inverse Compton radiation. W…

Gamma-ray Burst Prompt Emission: Jitter Radiation in Stochastic Magnetic Field Revisited

J. Mao, J. Wang

We revisit the radiation mechanism of relativistic electrons in the stochastic magnetic field and apply it to the high-energy emissions of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We confirm that…
