A Relativistic Electron-Positron Outflow from a Tepid Fireball
Katsuaki Asano, Fumio Takahara
Through detailed numerical simulations, we demonstrate that relativistic outflows (Lorentz factor ) of electron-positron pairs can be produced by radiative acceleration ev…

Prompt High-Energy Emission from Proton-Dominated Gamma-Ray Bursts
Katsuaki Asano, Susumu Inoue, Peter Mészáros
The prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is widely thought to be radiation from accelerated electrons, but an appreciably larger amount of energy could be carried by accelera…

Secondary Photons from High-energy Protons Accelerated in Hypernovae
K. Asano, P. Mészáros
Recent observations show that hypernovae may deposit some fraction of their kinetic energy in mildly relativistic ejecta. In the dissipation process of such ejecta in a stellar win…
