Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows in Pulsar-Wind Bubbles
Arieh Konigl, Jonathan Granot
We propose to identify pulsar-wind bubbles (PWBs) as the environment in which the afterglow emission in at least some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originates. Such bubbles could natural…
The Shape of Spectral Breaks in GRB Afterglows
Jonathan Granot, Re'em Sari
Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows are well described by synchrotron emission from relativistic blast waves expanding into an external medium. The blast wave is believed to amplify t…
Microlensing and the Surface Brightness Profile of the Afterglow Image of GRB 000301C
B. Scott Gaudi, Jonathan Granot, Abraham Loeb
The optical afterglow of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 000301C exhibited a significant, short-timescale deviation from the power-law flux decline expected in the standard synchrotron shock…
Theory of GRB Afterglow
Tsvi Piran, Jonathan Granot
The most interesting current open question in the theory of GRB afterglow is the propagation of jetted afterglows during the sideway expansion phase. Recent numerical simulations s…
Light Curves from an Expanding Relativistic Jet
Jonathan Granot, Mark Miller, Tsvi Piran +2
We perform fully relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of the deceleration and lateral expansion of a relativistic jet as it expands into an ambient medium. The hydrodynamic calcul…
Radiative Hydromagnetic Shocks in Relativistic Outflow Sources
Jonathan Granot, Arieh Konigl
We calculate the structure of a relativistic shock wave in which the internal energy of the shocked fluid is radiated away on a time scale much shorter than the characteristic shoc…
