Dissipative Photosphere Models of Gamma-ray Bursts and X-ray Flashes
M. J. Rees, P. Meszaros
We consider dissipative effects occurring in the optically thick inner parts of the relativistic outflows producing gamma-ray bursts and X-ray flashes, emphasizing specially the Co…

Gamma-ray bursts as X-ray depth-gauges of the Universe
P. Meszaros, M. J. Rees
We discuss the X-ray flux of gamma-ray burst afterglows at redshifts in the range 3-30, including the effects of the intergalactic He II absorption. We point out that strong X-ray…
