Early X-ray/UV Line Signatures of GRB Progenitors and Hypernovae
C. Weth, P. Meszaros, T. Kallman +1
We calculate the X-ray/UV spectral line signatures expected from the interaction of a gamma-ray burst afterglow and a dense pre-burst environment produced by the progenitor. We exp…

Steep Slopes and Preferred Breaks in GRB Spectra: the Role of Photospheres and Comptonization
P. Meszaros, M. J. Rees
The role of a photospheric component and of pair breakdown is examined in the internal shock model of gamma-ray bursts. We discuss some of the mechanisms by which they would produc…

GRB 990123: Reverse and Internal Shock Flashes and Late Afterglow
P. Meszaros, M. J. Rees
The prompt $(t \siml 0.16$ days) light curve and initial 9-th magnitude optical flash from GRB 990123 can be attributed to a reverse external shock, or possibly to internal shocks.…
