The signature of a wind reverse shock in Gamma-ray bursts afterglows
Asaf Pe'er, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
Explosions of massive stars are believed to be the source of a significant fraction of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). If this is indeed the case, then the explosion blast wave propagates…

The observable effects of a photospheric component on GRB's and XRF's prompt emission spectrum
Asaf Pe'er, Peter Mészáros, Martin J. Rees
A thermal radiative component is likely to accompany the first stages of the prompt emission of Gamma-ray bursts (GRB's) and X-ray flashes (XRF's). We analyze the effect of such a…

Peak energy clustering and efficiency in compact objects
Asaf Pe'er, Peter Mészáros, Martin J. Rees
We study the properties of plasmas containing a low energy thermal photon component at comoving temperature θ\equiv kT'/m_e c^2 \sim 10^{-5} - 10^{-2} interacting with an energetic…
