The First Pulse of the Extremely Bright GRB 130427A: A Test Lab for Synchrotron Shocks

R. Preece, J. Michael Burgess, A. von Kienlin +156

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A is one of the most energetic GRBs ever observed. The initial pulse up to 2.5 s is possibly the brightest well-isolated pulse observed to date. A fine…
