Retainment of r-process material in dwarf galaxies
Paz Beniamini, Irina Dvorkin, Joe Silk
The synthesis of -process elements is known to involve extremely energetic explosions. At the same time, recent observations find significant -process enrichment even in extr…
Supernovae generated High Velocity Compact Clouds
Almog Yalinewich, Paz Beniamini
It has been proposed that an intermediate mass black hole can produce compact molecular clouds with large velocity dispersions. This model is called into question due to the discov…
Electrons' energy in GRB afterglows implied by radio peaks
Paz Beniamini, Alexander J. van der Horst
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows have been observed across the electromagnetic spectrum, and physical parameters of GRB jets and their surroundings have been derived using broadban…
Constraints on millisecond magnetars as the engines of prompt emission in gamma-ray bursts
Paz Beniamini, Dimitrios Giannios, Brian D. Metzger
We examine millisecond magnetars as central engines of Gamma Ray Bursts' (GRB) prompt emission. Using the proto-magnetar wind model of Metzger et al. 2011, we estimate the temporal…
What can we learn from "internal plateaus"? The peculiar afterglow of GRB 070110
Paz Beniamini, Robert Mochkovitch
Context: The origin of GRBs' prompt emission is highly debated. Proposed scenarios involve dissipation processes above or below the photosphere of an ultra-relativistic outflow. Ai…
Prompt Gamma Ray Burst emission from gradual magnetic dissipation
Paz Beniamini, Dimitrios Giannios
We considered a model for the prompt phase of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) emission arising from a magnetized jet undergoing gradual energy dissipation due to magnetic reconnection. The d…
