Spectral Implications of Variability in GRB Fireballs
Ravi P. Pilla, Abraham Loeb
Cosmological -ray bursts originate from relativistic winds. Temporal fluctuations in the wind velocity can give rise to internal shocks which dissipate a significant fraction of…
Emission Spectra from Internal Shocks in Gamma-Ray-Burst Sources
Ravi Pilla, Abraham Loeb
Unsteady activity of gamma-ray burst sources leads to internal shocks in their emergent relativistic wind. We study the emission spectra from such shocks, assuming that they produc…
Kinetics of electron-positron pair plasmas using an adaptive Monte Carlo method
Ravi P. Pilla, Jacob Shaham
A new algorithm for implementing the adaptive Monte Carlo method is given. It is used to solve the relativistic Boltzmann equations that describe the time evolution of a nonequilib…
Non-thermal radiative pair plasmas: processes and spectra
Ravi P. Pilla, Jacob Shaham
We study the emission and absorption spectra due to various photon and pair processes in a non-equilibrium pair plasma containing a significant density of photons. We present here…
