Novae as Tevatrons: Prospects for CTA and IceCube
Brian D. Metzger, Damiano Caprioli, Indrek Vurm +3
The discovery of novae as sources of ~GeV gamma-rays highlights the key role of shocks and relativistic particle acceleration in these transient systems. Although there is evidence…
Radiative Transfer Models for Gamma-Ray Bursts
Indrek Vurm, Andrei M. Beloborodov
We present global radiative transfer models for heated relativistic jets. The simulations include all relevant radiative processes, starting deep in the opaque zone and following t…
Measuring Ambient Densities and Lorentz Factors of Gamma-Ray Bursts from GeV and Optical Observations
Romain Hascoët, Indrek Vurm, Andrei M. Beloborodov
Fermi satellite discovered that cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are accompanied by long GeV flashes. In two GRBs, an optical counterpart of the GeV flash has been detected. Re…
Gamma-ray novae as probes of relativistic particle acceleration at non-relativistic shocks
Brian D. Metzger, Thomas Finzell, Indrek Vurm +3
The Fermi LAT discovery that classical novae produce >100 MeV gamma-rays establishes that shocks and relativistic particle acceleration are key features of these events. These shoc…
