The recent simultaneous detection of optical, X-ray and gamma-ray photons from GRB990123 during the burst provides the first broadband multi-wavelength characterization of the burst spectrum and evolution. Here we show that a direct…
Recent observations of coherent radiation from the Crab pulsar (Bij et al 2021) suggest the emission is driven by an ultra - relativistic ($\gamma \sim 10^4$), cold plasma flow. A relativistically expanding plasma shell can compress the…
We consider here a proton-synchrotron model to explain the MAGIC observation of GRB 190114C afterglow in the energy band $0.2 - 1$~TeV, while the X-ray spectra are explained by electron-synchrotron emission. Given the uncertainty of the…
Gamma ray bursts (GRB's) often feature subpulses that have a distinctively asymmetric profile -- they rise quickly and decay much more slowly, while their spectrum softens slightly with observer time. It is suggested that these subpulses…
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are well described by synchrotron emission originating from the interaction between a relativistic blast wave and the external medium surrounding the GRB progenitor. We introduce a code to reconstruct…
For the first time, a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) was unambiguously associated with a gravitational wave (GW) observation from a binary neutron star (NS) merger. This allows us to link the details of the central engine properties to GRB…
The Gamma-Ray Bursts - GRBs are one of the most energetic astronomical events in the universe that have not yet an adequate explanation of what kind of mechanism is carried out. This question motivates the astronomical community to do…
Besides light curves and spectra, polarization provides a different powerful tool of studying the $\gamma-$ray burst (GRB) prompt phase. Compared with the time-integrated and energy-integrated polarization, time-resolved and energy-resolved…

Despite more than fifty years of gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations, several questions regarding the origin of the prompt emission, particularly at high energies, remain unresolved. We present a comprehensive analysis of 35 GRBs observed by…
(abridged)Prompt GRB emission is often interpreted as synchrotron radiation from high-energy electrons accelerated in internal shocks. Fast synchrotron cooling predicts that the photon index below the spectral peak is alpha=-3/2. This…
The detection of an afterglow, following a gamma-ray burst (GRB), can be described reasonably well by synchrotron emission from a relativistic spherical expanding blast wave, driven by an expanding fireball. We perform detailed calculations…
X-ray emission can provide a crucial diagnostic of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We calculate the X-ray and gamma-ray spectra of impulsive acceleration episodes related to GRB pulses. We use the synchrotron shock model (SSM) as a basis of our…
Relativistic blast wave models predict the spectrum of the emitted synchrotron radiation. The electrons in the shocked region are heated to a Wien distribution whose ``temperature'' is $1/3$ of the mean electron energy. This energy scale…
Jet precession has previously been proposed to explain the apparently repeating features in the light curves of a few gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In this {\it Letter}, we further apply the precession model to a bright GRB 220408B by examining…

The recently discovered GRB afterglow is believed to be described reasonably well by synchrotron emission from a slowing down relativistic shell that collides with an external medium. To compare theoretical models with afterglow…
When an emitting spherical shell with a constant Lorentz factor turns off emission abruptly at some radius, its high-latitude emission would obey the relation of $\hat{\alpha}$ (the temporal index) = $2 + \hat{\beta}$ (the spectral index).…
