Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the mysterious, short and intense flashes of gamma-rays in the space, and are believed to originate from the rare, explosively devastating, stellar events that happens at cosmological distances. This book is a doctoral dissertation summarizing the author and collaborators' studies on various physical processes in GRBs. The topics and the findings from the studies are: the distribution of electrons' energy spectral index in GRBs and other relativistic sources is inconsistent with the prediction from the first-order Fermi theory of the shock particle acceleration; the…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the mysterious, short and intense flashes of gamma-rays in the space, and are believed to originate from the rare, explosively devastating, stellar events that happens at cosmological distances. This book is a doctoral dissertation summarizing the author and collaborators' studies on various physical processes in GRBs. The topics and the findings from the studies are: the distribution of electrons' energy spectral index in GRBs and other relativistic sources is inconsistent with the prediction from the first-order Fermi theory of the shock particle acceleration; the photon scattering processes within the relativistic outflow that produces the GRB; the scattering of the GRB prompt photons by the circum-burst dust; making meaningful constraint on the GRB prompt emission radius; a late jet in a GRB explosion and the interesting emission signature due to its interactions with other relic components of the explosion.
Autorenporträt
Dr Rongfeng Shen obtained his PhD in astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin in 2010. He is working as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto. His research interests are gamma-ray bursts and other astronomical high-energy transient phenomena. He enjoys running, tennis and badminton in spare time.
