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...
