We present a simple phenomenological model of hadronic interaction between protons accelerated in an old supernova remnant (SNR) and cold protons situated within the associated molecular clouds (MCs). The accelerated protons from the old…

We present detailed calculations of the prompt spectrum of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) predicted within the fireball model framework, where emission is due to internal shocks in an expanding relativistic wind. Our time dependent numerical model…

Gamma Ray Burst prompt emission is believed to originate from electrons accelerated in a highly relativistic outflow. "Internal shocks" due to collisions between shells ejected by the central engine is a leading candidate for electron…

Even though the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is highly beamed, high-latitude emission still produces a distinct light curve break after the intrinsic emission ceases and the edge of the jet comes into view. This curvature…

The origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays $($UHECRs$)$ remains a mystery. It has been suggested that UHECRs can be produced by the stochastic acceleration in relativistic jets of gamma-ray bursts $($GRBs$)$ at the early afterglow phase.…

The observations of a nearby low-luminosity gamma-ray burst (GRB) 060218 associated with supernova SN 2006aj may imply an interesting astronomical picture where a supernova shock breakout locates behind a relativistic GRB jet. Based on this…

The Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 021211 detected by the High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE) II had a simple light-curve in the x-ray and gamma-ray energy bands containing one peak and little temporal fluctuation other than the expected Poisson…

We explore the implications of the light curve of the early TeV gamma-ray afterglow of GRB221009A reported by the LHAASO collaboration. We show that the reported offset of the reference time, $T_*$, allows the determination of the…

We model multiwavelength afterglow data from the short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 090510 using a combined leptonic-hadronic model of synchrotron radiation from an adiabatic blast wave. High energy, >100 MeV, emission in our model is dominated by…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are one of the candidates of ultra-high-energy (around 10^18.5 eV) cosmic-ray (UHECR) sources. We investigate high-energy cosmic-ray acceleration including heavy nuclei in GRBs by using Geant 4, and discuss its…

We investigated the multiband emission from the pulsar binaries XSS J12270-4859, PSR J2039-5617, and PSR J2339-0533, which exhibit orbital modulation in the X-ray and gamma-ray bands. We constructed the sources' broadband spectral energy…

In order to explain rapid light curve variability without invoking a variable source, several authors have proposed "minijets" that move relativistically relative to the main flow of the jet. Here we consider the possibility that these…
