Synchrotron Radiation as the Source of Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Vahe' Petrosian
We investigate synchrotron emission models as the source of gamma-ray burst spectra. We show that including the possibility for synchrotron self-absorption, a ``smooth cutoff'' to…
Synchrotron Emission as the Source of GRB Spectra, Part II: Observations
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Vahe' Petrosian, Robert D. Preece
We test the models of synchrotron emission presented in Part I of this series (Lloyd & Petrosian, these proceedings) against the distributions and evolution of GRB spectral paramet…
Synchrotron Radiation as the Source of GRB Spectra, Part I: Theory
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Vahe' Petrosian
We investigate synchrotron emission models as the source of gamma ray burst spectra. We show that allowing for synchrotron self absorption and a ``smooth cutoff'' to the electron e…
Cosmological versus Intrinsic: The Correlation between Intensity and the Peak of the nu F_nu Spectrum of Gamma Ray Bursts
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Vahe' Petrosian, Robert S. Mallozzi
We present results of correlation studies, examining the association between the peak of the nu F_nu spectrum of gamma ray bursts, E_p, with the burst's energy fluence and photon p…
Cosmological Signatures in Temporal and Spectral Characteristics of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Vahe' Petrosian, Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Andrew Lee
There have been several suggestions of the existence of cosmological redshift signatures in the temporal and spectral characteristics of gamma-ray bursts. However, recent discoveri…
Distribution of Spectral Characteristics and the Cosmological Evolution of GRBs
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Vahe' Petrosian
We investigate the cosmological evolution of GRBs, using the total gamma ray fluence as a measure of the burst strength. This involves an understanding of the distributions of the…
Distribution of Fluences versus Peak Fluxes and the Cosmological Density Evolution of the Rate of GRBs
Vahe' Petrosian, Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning
We argue that recent observations of afterglows and some theoretical considerations indicate that the gamma-ray fluence may be a better measure of strength of a burst than its peak…
The Extent of the Spectral Bias in BATSE: The True Distribution of the nu F_nu Peak Energy
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Vahe' Petrosian
The distributions of spectral characteristics and their correlations with fluence, peak flux, or duration, are essential in understanding the nature of GRBs. However, the selection…
