Fireballs, Flares and Flickering: A Semi-analytic, LTE, Explosive Model from Accretion Disks to Supernovae

K. J. Pearson, Keith Horne, Warren Skidmore

We derive simple analytic expressions for the continuum lightcurves and spectra of flaring and flickering events that occur over a wide range of astrophysical systems. We compare t…
