Central engine afterglow of Gamma-ray Bursts
Yi-Zhong Fan, Tsvi Piran, Da-Ming Wei
Before 2004, nearly all GRB afterglow data could be understood in the context of the external shocks model. This situation has changed in the past two years, when it became clear t…

High Energy Afterglow from Gamma-ray Bursts
Yi-Zhong Fan, Tsvi Piran, Ramesh Narayan +1
We calculate the very high energy (sub-GeV to TeV) inverse Compton emission of GRB afterglows. We argue that this emission provides a powerful test of the currently accepted afterg…

Gamma-ray Burst UV/optical afterglow polarimetry as a probe of Quantum Gravity
Yi-Zhong Fan, Da-Ming Wei, Dong Xu
A possible birefringence effect that arises in quantum gravity leads to a frequency-dependent rotation of the polarization angle of linearly polarized emission from distant sources…
