Monte Carlo simulations of Photospheric emission in relativistic outflows
Mukul Bhattacharya, Wenbin Lu, Rodolfo Santana +1
We study the spectra of photospheric emission from highly relativistic gamma-ray burst outflows using a Monte Carlo (MC) code. We consider the Comptonization of photons with a fast…

Swift J1644+57: an Ideal Test Bed of Radiation Mechanisms in a Relativistic Super-Eddington Jet
Patrick Crumley, Wenbin Lu, Rodolfo Santana +3
Within the first 10 days after Swift discovered the jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) Sw J1644+57, simultaneous observations in the radio, near-infrared, optical, X-ray and gamma…

Monte Carlo Simulations of the Photospheric Process
Rodolfo Santana, Patrick Crumley, Roberto A. Hernandez +1
We present a Monte Carlo (MC) code we wrote to simulate the photospheric process and to study the photospheric spectrum above the peak energy. Our simulations were performed with a…
