Cyclotron Line Formation in a Radiation-driven Outflow
Michael Isenberg, D. Q. Lamb, John C. L. Wang
We calculate the properties of gamma-ray burst spectral lines formed by resonant cyclotron scattering in a radiation-driven outflow. Most previous models of line formation in gamma…

Effects of the Geometry of the Line-Forming Region on the Properties of Cyclotron Resonant Scattering Lines
Michael Isenberg, D. Q. Lamb, John C. L. Wang
We use a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to examine the dependence of the properties of cyclotron resonant scattering lines on the spatial geometry and the optical depth of the…

Cyclotron Line Formation in a Relativistic Outflow
Michael Isenberg, D. Q. Lamb, John C. L. Wang
There is mounting evidence that, if gamma-ray bursters are Galactic in origin, they are located in a Galactic corona at distances greater than 100 kpc. This has created a need to e…
