Thermal neutrinos from hot GRB fireballs
Hylke B. J. Koers, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
We consider the physics of neutrinos in a fireball, i.e. a tightly coupled plasma of photons, positrons and electrons. Such a fireball is believed to form in the first stages of a…

The effect of neutrinos on the initial fireballs in gamma-ray bursts
Hylke B. J. Koers, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers
We investigate the fate of very compact, sudden energy depositions that may lie at the origin of gamma-ray bursts. Following on from the work of Cavallo and Rees (1978), we take ac…
