A New Dynamical Model for the Black Hole Binary LMC X-1
Jerome A. Orosz, Danny Steeghs, Jeffrey E. McClintock +10
We present a dynamical model of the high mass X-ray binary LMC X-1 based on high-resolution optical spectroscopy and extensive optical and near-infrared photometry. From our new op…
GLAST Prospects for Swift-Era Afterglows
L. J. Gou, P. Meszaros
We calculate the GeV spectra of GRB afterglows produced by inverse Compton scattering of the sub-MeV emission of these objects. We improve on earlier treatments by using refined af…
Modeling GRB 050904: Autopsy of a Massive Stellar Explosion at z=6.29
L. J. Gou, D. B. Fox, P. Meszaros
GRB 050904 at redshift z=6.29, discovered and observed by Swift and with spectroscopic redshift from the Subaru telescope, is the first gamma-ray burst to be identified from beyond…
Detectability of GRB Iron Lines by Swift, Chandra and XMM
L. J. Gou, P. Meszaros, T. R. Kallman
The rapid acquisition of positions by the upcoming Swift satellite will allow the monitoring for X-ray lines in GRB afterglows at much earlier epochs than was previously feasible.…
GeV Emission from TeV Blazars and Intergalactic Magnetic Fields
Z. G. Dai, B. Zhang, L. J. Gou +2
Several high-frequency peaked BL Lac objects such as Mrk 501 are strong TeV emitters. However, a significant fraction of the TeV gamma rays emitted are likely to be absorbed in int…
Gamma-ray burst afterglows from jetted shocks in wind environments
L. J. Gou, Z. G. Dai, Y. F. Huang +1
Gamma-ray bursts with long durations are widely thought to arise from the collapse of massive stars, where the wind environment is unavoidable. It is also believed that -ray bur…
