Gamma-ray novae as probes of relativistic particle acceleration at non-relativistic shocks
Brian D. Metzger, Thomas Finzell, Indrek Vurm +3
The Fermi LAT discovery that classical novae produce >100 MeV gamma-rays establishes that shocks and relativistic particle acceleration are key features of these events. These shoc…
Ionization Break-Out from Millisecond Pulsar Wind Nebulae: an X-ray Probe of the Origin of Superluminous Supernovae
Brian D. Metzger, Indrek Vurm, Romain Hascoet +1
Magnetic spin-down of a millisecond neutron star has been proposed as the power source of hydrogen-poor "superluminous" supernovae (SLSNe-I). However, producing an unambiguous test…
Accounting for the XRT early steep decay in models of the prompt GRB emission
R. Hascoët, F. Daigne, R. Mochkovitch
The Swift-XRT observations of the early X-ray afterglow of GRBs show that it usually begins with a steep decay phase. A possible origin of this early steep decay is the high latitu…
