Emission and Cooling Processes in a Hybrid Thermal-Nonthermal Plasma
D. Lin, E. P. Liang
In a hybrid thermal-nonthermal plasma, we find that the dominant emission and absorption mechanisms are synchrotron by nonthermal electrons and bremsstrahlung by thermal electrons.…
Testing the Invariance of Cooling Rate in Gamma-Ray Burst Pulses
A. Crider, E. P. Liang, R. D. Preece
Recent studies have found that the spectral evolution of pulses within gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is consistent with simple radiative cooling. Perhaps more interesting was a report th…
Confronting Synchrotron Shock and Inverse Comptonization Models with GRB Spectral Evolution
A. Crider, E. P. Liang, R. D. Preece
The time-resolved spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) remain in conflict with many proposed models for these events. After proving that most of the bursts in our sample show evidenc…
A Thermal-Nonthermal Inverse Compton Model for Cyg X-1
A. Crider, E. P. Liang, I. A. Smith +2
Using Monte Carlo methods to simulate the inverse Compton scattering of soft photons, we model the spectrum of the Galactic black hole candidate Cyg X-1, which shows evidence of a…
