Influence of the Working Gas Properties on the Anode Wire Modulation Effect of MWPC
Xiaohu Wang
For MWPC used for X-ray position detection, simulation study of the anode wire modulation effect of the detector was carried out with Garfield program. Different gas mixtures were…
Stability of an Ultra-Relativistic Blast Wave in an External Medium with a Steep Power-Law Density Profile
Xiaohu Wang, Abraham Loeb, Eli Waxman
We examine the stability of self-similar solutions for an accelerating relativistic blast wave which is generated by a point explosion in an external medium with a steep radial den…
Stability of the Forward/Reverse Shock System Formed by the Impact of a Relativistic Fireball on an Ambient Medium
Xiaohu Wang, Abraham Loeb, Eli Waxman
We analyze the stability of a relativistic double (forward/reverse) shock system which forms when the fireball of a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) impacts on the surrounding medium. We find…
Emission from Bow Shocks of Beamed Gamma-Ray Bursts
Xiaohu Wang, Abraham Loeb
Beamed gamma-ray burst (GRB) sources produce a bow shock in their gaseous environment. The emitted flux from this bow shock may dominate over the direct emission from the jet for l…
Variability of GRB Afterglows Due to Interstellar Turbulence
Xiaohu Wang, Abraham Loeb
Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows are commonly interpreted as synchrotron emission from a relativistic blast wave produced by a point explosion in an ambient medium, plausibly the i…
