Variability in Shell Models of Gamma-Ray Bursts
M. C. Sumner, E. E. Fenimore
Many cosmological models of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) assume that a single relativistic shell carries kinetic energy away from the source and later converts it into gamma rays, perha…

Relativistic Shells and Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. E. Fenimore, M. C. Sumner
In many models of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) relativistic shells are responsible for the overall envelope of emission. We use kinematics and symmetry to calculate the time history and…
