GRB 060218: The nature of the optical-UV component
C. -I. Björnsson
The optical-UV component in GRB 060218 is assumed to be due to optically thick cyclotron emission. The key aspect of this model is the high temperature of the absorbing electrons.…
PoGOLite - A High Sensitivity Balloon-Borne Soft Gamma-ray Polarimeter
Tuneyoshi Kamae, Viktor Andersson, Makoto Arimoto +36
We describe a new balloon-borne instrument (PoGOLite) capable of detecting 10% polarisation from 200mCrab point-like sources between 25 and 80keV in one 6 hour flight. Polarisation…
Measuring energy dependent polarization in soft gamma-rays using Compton scattering in PoGOLite
M. Axelsson, O. Engdegård, F. Ryde +23
Linear polarization in X- and gamma-rays is an important diagnostic of many astrophysical sources, foremost giving information about their geometry, magnetic fields, and radiation…
Modeling the Radio and X-ray Emission of SN 1993J and SN 2002ap
Claes Fransson, Claes-Ingvar Bjornsson
Modeling of radio and X-ray observations of supernovae interacting with their circumstellar media are discussed, with special application to SN 1993J and SN 2002ap. We emphasize th…
