Swift J1644+57: an Ideal Test Bed of Radiation Mechanisms in a Relativistic Super-Eddington Jet

Patrick Crumley, Wenbin Lu, Rodolfo Santana +3

Within the first 10 days after Swift discovered the jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) Sw J1644+57, simultaneous observations in the radio, near-infrared, optical, X-ray and gamma…

Radio Emission from the Bow Shock of G2

Patrick Crumley, Pawan Kumar

The radio flux from the synchrotron emission of electrons accelerated in the forward bow shock of G2 is expected to have peaked when the forward shock passes close to the pericente…

Radio Synchrotron Emission from the Bow Shock of G2

Patrick Crumley, Pawan Kumar

The radio flux from the synchrotron emission of electrons accelerated in the forward bow shock of G2 is expected to peak when the forward shock passes pericenter, possibly 7 to 9 m…

Maximum synchrotron frequency for shock-accelerated particles

P. Kumar, R. A. Hernández, Z. Bosnjak +1

It is widely believed that the maximum energy of synchrotron photons when electrons are accelerated in shocks via the Fermi process is about 50 MeV (in plasma comoving frame). We s…

Inverse Compton cooling in Klein-Nishina regime and GRB prompt spectrum

R. Barniol Duran, Z. Bosnjak, P. Kumar

Synchrotron radiation mechanism, when electrons are accelerated in a relativistic shock, is known to have serious problems to explain the observed gamma-ray spectrum below the peak…

Magnetic jet model for GRBs and the delayed arrival of >100 MeV photons

Z. Bosnjak, P. Kumar

Photons of energy larger than 100 MeV from long-GRBs arrive a few seconds after <10 MeV photons do. We show that this delay is a natural consequence of a magnetic dominated relativ…
