Prompt and Delayed High-Energy Emission from Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts
M. Boettcher, C. D. Dermer
In the cosmological blast-wave model for gamma ray bursts (GRBs), high energy (> 10 GeV) gamma-rays are produced either through Compton scattering of soft photons by ultrarelativis…
A New Approach to Statistics of Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts
M. Boettcher, C. D. Dermer
We use a new method of analysis to determine parameters of cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), assuming that their distribution follows the star-formation history of the universe…
A New Model for the Hard Time Lags in Black Hole X-Ray Binaries
M. Boettcher, E. P. Liang
The time-dependent Comptonized output of a cool soft X-ray source drifting inward through an inhomogeneous hot inner disk or corona is numerically simulated. We propose that this s…
Analyzing the Multiwavelength Spectrum and Variability of BL Lacertae During the July 1997 Outburst
M. Boettcher, S. D. Bloom
The multiwavelength spectrum of BL Lacertae during its July 1997 outburst is analyzed in terms of different variations of the homogeneous leptonic jet model for the production of h…
On Compton Scattering Scenarios for Blazar Flares
M. Boettcher, C. D. Dermer
The synchrotron reflection scenario recently proposed to explain -ray flares observed from blazar jets is studied. Our analysis takes into account the angular distribution of th…
Fireballs Loading and the Blast Wave Model of Gamma Ray Bursts
C. D. Dermer, J. Chiang, M. Boettcher
A simple function for the spectral power is proposed to model, with 9 parameters, the spectral and temporal evolution of the observed nonthermal synchrotron…
Comptonization signatures in the rapid aperiodic variability of Galactic black-hole candidates
M. Boettcher, E. P. Liang
We investigate the effect of inverse-Compton scattering of flares of soft radiation in different geometries of a hot, Comptonizing region and a colder accretion disk around a solar…
Transrelativistic pair plasmas in AGN jets
M. Boettcher, M. Pohl, R. Schlickeiser
Models of relativistic jets filled with ultrarelativistic pair plasma are very successful in explaining the broadband radiation of -ray blazars. Assuming that the initial inject…
High Energy Gamma Rays from Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays in Gamma Ray Bursts
M. Boettcher, C. D. Dermer
It has recently been proposed that ultrahigh energy ( eV) cosmic rays (UHECRs) are accelerated by the blast waves associated with GRBs. We calculate the observed s…
