Sub-photospheric turbulence as a heating mechanism in gamma-ray bursts
Jonathan Zrake, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Christoffer Lundman
We examine the possible role of turbulence in feeding the emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Turbulence may develop in a GRB jet as the result of hydrodynamic or current-driven i…
Science prospects for SPHiNX - a small satellite GRB polarimetry mission
M. Pearce, L. Eliasson, N. Kumar Iyer +9
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are exceptionally bright electromagnetic events occurring daily on the sky. The prompt emission is dominated by X-/-rays. Since their discovery over 50 y…
Radiation mediated shocks in gamma-ray bursts: Subshock photon production
Christoffer Lundman, Andrei Beloborodov
Internal shocks provide a plausible heating mechanism in the jets of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Shocks occurring below the jet photosphere are mediated by radiation. It was previousl…
