Gamma-Ray Bursts
P. Meszaros, M. J. Rees
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe. They appear connected to supernova remnants from massive stars or the merger of their remnants, and their brightn…
Gamma Ray Bursts
Peter Mészáros
Gamma-ray bursts have been detected at photon energies up to tens of GeV. We review some recent developments in the X-ray to GeV photon phenomenology in the light of Swift and Ferm…
GeV Emission from Collisional Magnetized Gamma Ray Bursts
P. Mészáros, M. J. Rees
Magnetic fields may play a dominant role in gamma-ray bursts, and recent observations by the Fermi satellite indicate that GeV radiation, when detected, arrives delayed by seconds…
Thermalization in Relativistic Outflows and the Correlation between Spectral Hardness and Apparent Luminosity in Gamma-ray Bursts
C. Thompson, P. Meszaros, M. J. Rees
We present an interpretation of the phenomenological relations between the spectral peak, isotropic luminosity and duration of long gamma ray bursts that have been discovered by Am…
Gamma-Ray Bursts
P. Meszaros
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the Universe, and their origin and mechanism are the focus of intense research and debate. More than three decades after their…
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…
