Kalemci, E., Boggs, S. E., Kouveliotou, C., Finger, M., Baring, M. G.
Measuring the polarization of the prompt gamma-ray emission from GRBs can significantly improve our understanding of both the GRB emission mechanisms, as well as the underlying engine driving the...
Gamma-Ray Burst Energy Spectra: Theoretical Models, Old and New (1995)
The modelling of gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra has considerable potential for increasing the understanding of these enigmatic sources. A diversity of ideas and analyses has been generated over the...
Photon Splitting in Soft Gamma Repeaters (1995)
The exotic quantum process of photon splitting has great potential to explain the softness of emission in soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) if they originate in neutron stars with surface fields above the...
Photon Splitting in Magnetar Models of Soft Gamma Repeaters (1995)
The recent association of soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) with counterparts in other wavebands has sparked much interest in these sources. One of the recent models for these objects is that they...
Acceleration Rates and Injection Efficiencies in Oblique Shocks (1995)
Ellison, D. C., Baring, M. G., Jones, F. C.
The rate at which particles are accelerated by the first-order Fermi mechanism in shocks depends on the angle, \teq{\Tbone}, that the upstream magnetic field makes with the shock normal. The greater...
