The Maximum Isotropic Equivalent Energy Of Gamma Ray Bursts

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2022-12-20 v2

Abstract

The canonball model, which unifies cosmic ray bursts (CRBs) and gamma ray bursts (GRBs), is used to predict the maximum isotropic equivalent gamma ray energy release in a GRB. The predicted maximum is based on the observed knee around 1 TeV in the energy spectrum of Galactic cosmic ray electrons, and on the Amati correlation in GRBs. Both were predicted by the cannonball model of CRBs and GRBs before their empirical discoveries. The predicted maximum agrees well with that concluded from up to date GRB observations.
