  • Radiative Acceleration and Emission from Relativistic Outflows

    Creator:
    Chhotray, Atul
    Abstract:
    Outflowing streams of matter or jets are a common phenomenon in the observeduniverse. The most extreme and powerful jets are relativistic, i.e., they travel at speedscomparable to the of speed light. Gamma Ray-Bursts (GRBs) and Active Galactic Nuclei(AGNs) are two sources of these relativistic jets. In this work I will...

  • Monte Carlo Radiation Transfer Simulations of Gamma Ray Burst Prompt Emission

    Creator:
    Parsotan, Tyler M.
    Abstract:
    Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...
