Gamma-ray bursts: Potential sources of ultra high energy cosmic-rays
E. Waxman
The arguments suggesting an association between the sources of cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are presented. Recent…
Time dependent numerical model for the emission of radiation from relativistic plasma
Asaf Pe'er, Eli Waxman
We describe a numerical model constructed for the study of the emission of radiation from relativistic plasma under conditions characteristic, e.g., to gamma-ray bursts (GRB's) and…
The spectrum of particles accelerated in relativistic, collisionless shocks
Uri Keshet, Eli Waxman
We analytically study diffusive particle acceleration in relativistic, collisionless shocks. We find a simple relation between the spectral index s and the anisotropy of the moment…
Searching for Intergalactic Shocks with the SKA
Uri Keshet, Eli Waxman, Abraham Loeb
Strong intergalactic shocks are a natural consequence of structure formation in the universe. These shocks are expected to deposit large fractions of their energy in relativistic e…
High energy photon emission in the early afterglow of GRB's
Asaf Pe'er, Eli Waxman
We consider the emission within the fireball model framework of very high energy, ~1 GeV to >1 TeV photons, on a minute time scale, during the onset of fireball deceleration due to…
TeV neutrinos from core collapse supernovae and hypernovae
Soebur Razzaque, Peter Meszaros, Eli Waxman
A fraction of core collapse supernovae of type Ib/c are associated with Gamma-ray bursts, which are thought to produce highly relativistic jets. Recently, it has been hypothesized…
