Line emission from gamma-ray burst environments
M. Boettcher
The time and angle dependent line and continuum emission from a dense torus around a cosmological gamma-ray burst source is simulated, taking into account photoionization, collisio…
The Energy Dependence of the Aperiodic Variability for Cygnus X-1, GX 339-4, GRS 1758-258, & 1E 1740.7-2942
D. Lin, I. A. Smith, M. Bottcher +1
Using the data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), we report the different energy dependence of the variability of the four persistent hard X-ray sources in the low-hard s…
Spectral Energy Distributions of Gamma Ray Bursts Energized by External Shocks
C. D. Dermer, M. Boettcher, J. Chiang
Sari, Piran, and Narayan have derived analytic formulas to model the spectra from gamma-ray burst blast waves that are energized by sweeping up material from the surrounding medium…
Leptonic Jet Models of Blazars: Broadband Spectra and Spectral Variability
M. Boettcher
The current status of leptonic jet models for gamma-ray blazars is reviewed. Differences between the quasar and BL-Lac subclasses of blazars may be understood in terms of the domin…
Early GRB Afterglows from Relativistic Blast Waves in General Radiative Regimes
M. Boettcher, C. D. Dermer
We present simple analytical expressions for the predicted spectral and temporal behavior of the early afterglow radiation from gamma-ray bursts in radiative regimes intermediate b…
The External Shock Model of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Three Predictions and a Paradox Resolved
Charles D. Dermer, Markus Boettcher, J. Chiang
In the external shock model, gamma-ray burst (GRB) emissions are produced by the energization and deceleration of a thin relativistic blast wave due to its interactions with the ci…
The synchrotron peak shift during high-energy flares of blazars
M. Boettcher
A prediction for the energy shift of the synchrotron spectrum of flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) during high-energy flares is presented. If the -ray emission of FSRQs is pro…
