The origin of GeV emission from the early epoch of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is a widely discussed issue. The long gamma-ray burst GRB 170405A, observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope showed high-energy emission delayed by $\sim$20 s…

Long GRB 190114C, identified on January 14th, 2019, was the first Gamma-ray Burst that substantially violated the defined 10 GeV energy limit of the Synchrotron model, with an observed emission between 0.2 - 1 TeV and a low redshift of z =…

The discovery that the Galactic SGR 1935$+$2154 emitted FRB 200428 simultaneous with a gamma-ray flare demonstrated the common source and association of these phenomena. If FRB radio emission is the result of coherent curvature radiation,…

Radially inhomogeneous gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets release variable photospheric emission and can have internal shocks occurring above the photosphere. We generically formulate a photospheric emission model of GRBs including Compton…

The gamma-ray burst (GRB) of October 17, 1994 (941017), showed a distinct high energy spectral component extending from $\lesssim$ a few MeV to $\gtrsim$ 200 MeV, in addition to the typical GRB emission which peaked at $\lesssim$ a few…

We show that an extragalactic jet with a velocity shear gives rise to Fermi like acceleration process for photons scattering withing the shear layers of the jet. Such photons then gain energy to produce a high energy power law. These power…

The extended high-energy gamma-ray (>100 MeV) emission which occurs well after the prompt gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is usually explained as the afterglow synchrotron radiation. Here we report the analysis of the Fermi Large Area Telescope…

Non-spherical rapid acceleration of mass (or energy) to a relativistic velocity is a natural source of gravitational radiation. Such conditions arise in both long and short gamma-ray bursts whose central engine ejects relativistic jets. The…

$\gamma$-ray bursts (GRBs) are short-lived transients releasing a large amount of energy ($10^{51}-10^{53} $ erg) in the keV-MeV energy range. GRBs are thought to originate from internal dissipation of the energy carried by…

The long-lasting tension between the observed spectra of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and the predicted synchrotron emission spectrum might be solved if electrons do not completely cool. Evidence for incomplete cooling was recently found in…
