The thermalization of -rays in radioactive expanding ejecta: A simple model and its application for Kilonovae and Ia SNe

Or Guttman, Ben Shenhar, Arnab Sarkar +1

A semi-analytic approximation is derived for the time-dependent fraction of the energy deposited by radioactive decay -rays in a homologously expanding plasma of genera…
