Multi-messenger Extended Emission from the compact remnant in GW170817
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Massimo Della Valle, Amir Levinson
GW170817/GRB170817A probably marks a double neutron star coalescence. Extended Emission \,s post-merger shows an estimated energy output ${\cal E}\simeq (3…
BALQSO Spectra Explained by Shock Disruption of Galactic Clouds
Meir Zeilig Hess, Amir Levinson, Xinfeng Xu +1
Blue-shifted Broad Absorption Lines (BALs) detected in quasar's spectra are indicative of AGN outflows. We show, using 2D hydrodynamical simulations, that disruption of interstella…
Physics of radiation mediated shocks and its applications to GRBs, supernovae, and neutron star mergers
Amir Levinson, Ehud Nakar
The first electromagnetic signal observed in different types of cosmic explosions is released upon emergence of a shock created in the explosion from the opaque envelope enshroudin…
High efficiency photospheric emission entailed by formation of a collimation shock in gamma-ray bursts
Ore Gottlieb, Amir Levinson, Ehud Nakar
The primary dissipation mechanism in jets of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and the high efficiency of the prompt emission are long standing issues. One possibility is strong collimation…
