Bolometric light curves of aspherical shock breakout
Christopher Irwin, Itai Linial, Ehud Nakar +2
The shock breakout emission is the first light that emerges from a supernova. In the spherical case it is characterized by a brief UV flash. In an axisymmetric, non-spherical prola…
Jet-driven bubbles in Fanaroff-Riley type I sources
Christopher M. Irwin, Xiaping Tang, Tsvi Piran +1
Observations of several Fanaroff-Riley (FR) type I sources reveal outflowing bipolar bubbles of hot gas surrounded by a weak forward shock. We consider the possibility that these b…
The propagation of choked jet outflows in power-law external media
Christopher M. Irwin, Ehud Nakar, Tsvi Piran
Observations of both gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) point to the idea that some relativistic jets are suffocated by their environment before we observe t…
