Gamma-ray burst afterglow theory
Hendrik van Eerten
It is by now fairly well established that gamma-ray burst afterglows result from initially relativistic outflows interacting with the medium surrounding the burster and emitting no…
GRB Afterglow Blast Wave Encountering Sudden Circumburst Density Change Produces No Flares
Ilana Gat, Hendrik van Eerten, Andrew MacFadyen
Afterglows of gamma-ray bursts are observed to produce light curves with the flux following power law evolution in time. However, recent observations reveal bright flares at times…
Fitting Afterglows With Multi-Dimensional Simulations
Geoffrey Ryan, Hendrik van Eerten, Andrew MacFadyen
We present preliminary data fit results of synthetic light curves computed from numerical afterglow blast wave simulations. Our technique uses Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) in a…
No flares from Gamma-Ray Burst afterglow blast waves encountering sudden circumburst density change
Ilana Gat, Hendrik van Eerten, Andrew MacFadyen
Afterglows of gamma-ray bursts are observed to produce light curves with the flux following power law evolution in time. However, recent observations reveal bright flares at times…
Applying an accurate spherical model to gamma-ray burst afterglow observations
Konstantinos Leventis, Alexander J. van der Horst, Hendrik J. van Eerten +1
We present results of model fits to afterglow data sets of GRB970508, GRB980703 and GRB070125, characterized by long and broadband coverage. The model assumes synchrotron radiation…
