External Shock Model for the Prompt Phase of Gamma Ray Bursts: Implications for GRB Source Models
Charles D. Dermer, Kurt E. Mitman
An external shock model for the prompt gamma-ray luminous phase of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is treated both analytically and numerically. A widely cited derivation claiming that an…

Beaming, Baryon-Loading, and the Synchrotron Self-Compton Component in Gamma-Ray Burst Blast Waves Energized by External Shocks
Charles D. Dermer, James Chiang, Kurt E. Mitman
We present detailed calculations of nonthermal synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) spectra radiated by blast waves that are energized by interactions with a uniform surr…

Short Timescale Variability in the External Shock Model of Gamma Ray Bursts
Charles D. Dermer, Kurt E. Mitman
We have developed a computer model to calculate gamma ray burst (GRB) light curves and efficiencies from the interaction of a single, thin blast wave with clouds in the external me…
