Rise and fall of the X-ray flash 080330: an off-axis jet?

C. Guidorzi, C. Clemens, S. Kobayashi +31

X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a class of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the peak energy of the time-integrated spectrum, Ep, below 30 keV, whereas classical GRBs have Ep of a few hundreds…

Is the Rapid Decay Phase from High Latitude Emission?

F. Genet, J. Granot

There is good observationnal evidence that the Steep Decay Phase (SDP) that is observed in most Swift GRBs is the tail of the prompt emission. The most popular model to explain the…

The rise of the afterglow in GRB 050820a

F. Genet, F. Daigne, R. Mochkovitch

The early optical afterglow of GRB 050820a recorded by the RAPTOR telescope shows both a contribution from the prompt emission and the initial rise of the afterglow. It is therefor…

Can the early X-ray afterglow of GRBs be explained by a contribution from the reverse shock?

Franck Genet, Frederic Daigne, Robert Mochkovitch

We propose to explain the recent observations of GRB early X-ray afterglows with SWIFT by the dissipation of energy in the reverse shock which crosses the ejecta as it is decelerat…

Afterglow calculation in the electromagnetic model for gamma-ray bursts

F. Genet, F. Daigne, R. Mochkovitch

We compute the afterglow of gamma-ray bursts produced by purely electromagnetic outflows to see if it shows characteristic signatures differing from those obtained with the standar…
