I explore the observational appearance of the photosphere of an ultrarelativistic flow with internal dissipation of energy (``dissipative'' GRB models). As a case study, I use the magnetic reconnection model (AC model) that makes robust…
One of the key open question in the study of jets in general, and jets in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in particular, is the magnetization of the outflow. Here we consider the photospheric emission of Poynting flux dominated outflows, when the…
In my doctoral thesis, I have focussed my attention on radiation processes in high-energy astrophysics connected with the accretion flow physics around compact objects. Generally, a radiation field beside to exert an outward radiation…
Applying our recently-developed generalized version of the high-latitude emission theory to the observations of X-ray flares in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), we present here clear observational evidence that the X-ray flare emission region is…
The dissipation of turbulent magnetic fields is an appealing scenario to explain the origin of non-thermal particles in high-energy astrophysical sources. However, it has been suggested that the particle distribution may effectively…
Although the observed spectra for gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission is well constrained, the underlying radiation mechanism is still not very well understood. We explore photospheric emission in GRB jets by modelling the Comptonization…
Among magnetar models of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), there is ongoing debate about whether the site of coherent radio emission lies within or beyond the light cylinder. We propose a mechanism by which FRBs produced near the magnetar surface…
Sari and Piran have demonstrated that the time structure of gamma-ray bursts must reflect the time structure of their energy release. A model which satisfies this condition uses the electrodynamic emission of energy by the magnetized…
The typical spectrum of the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) indicates that the electron cooling is suppressed in spite of the strong magnetic field in the standard synchrotron model. Recent Particle-in-Cell simulations show that…
The extreme energetics of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 990123 has revealed that some of GRBs emit quite a large amount of energy, and total energy release from GRBs seems to change from burst to burst by a factor of 10^{2-3} as E_{gamma, iso}…
The evolution of a dilute electron-positron fireball is calculated in the regime of strong magnetization and very high compactness (l ~10^3-10^8). Heating is applied at a low effective temperature (< 25 keV), and the fireball is allowed to…
According to current models, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced when the energy carried by a relativistic outflow is dissipated and converted into radiation. The efficiency of this process, $\epsilon_\gamma$, is one of the critical…
The radiation released at the transparency radius of an ultrarelativistic flow can account for the observed properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) provided that sufficient energy is dissipated in the sub-photospheric region. Here, I…
The fraction of a fireball kinetic kinetic energy that can be radiated away by internal shocks is sensitive to the amplitude of initial fluctuations in the fireball. We give a simple analytical description for dissipation of…
We consider dissipative effects occurring in the optically thick inner parts of the relativistic outflows producing gamma-ray bursts and X-ray flashes, emphasizing specially the Comptonization of the thermal radiation flux that is advected…
We present a model for gamma-ray bursts where a dissipative photosphere provides the usual spectral peak around MeV energies accompanied by a subdominant thermal component. We treat the initial acceleration of the jet in a general way,…
We derive analytic formulas for the radiation power output when electrons are accelerated by a relativistic comoving kinetic Poynting flux, and validate these analytic results with Particle-In-Cell simulations. We also derive analytically…
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow emission is believed to be produced by synchrotron emission of electrons accelerated to high energy by a relativistic collisionless shock propagating into a weakly magnetized plasma. Afterglow observations…
We present numerical simulations of cold, axisymmetric, magnetically driven relativistic outflows. The outflows are initially sub-Alfv\'enic and Poynting flux-dominated, with total--to--rest-mass energy flux ratio up to $\mu \sim 620$. To…
Previous studies have considered synchrotron as the emission mechanism for prompt Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). These works have shown that the electrons must cool on a timescale comparable to the dynamic time at the source in order to satisfy…
