Gamma-ray burst models with general dynamics and fits to Fermi LAT bursts

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2013-09-06 v2

Abstract

We present a dissipative photospheric model for gamma-ray bursts where the usual Band peak around MeV energies arises as synchrotron emission from around the photosphere. We treat the initial acceleration in a general way and the GeV emission arises as the interaction of photospheric radiation and the shocked electrons at the deceleration radius. We show some applications of this model.
