Gamma-Ray Bursts: Compton Scattering, Gamma-Ray Bursts: Afterglows

Scientific paper

The detection of delayed X-ray, optical and radio emission, "afterglow", associated with γ-ray bursts (GRBs) is consistent with fireball models, where the emission is produced by relativistic expanding blast waves, driven by expanding fireballs at cosmological distances. The observations show that the optical light curves of two observed gamma-ray bursts, GRB 970228 and GRB 970508, can be described by a simple power law, which seems to support the synchrotron radiation explanation. However, here the author shows that under some circumstances, the inverse Compton scattering (ICS) may play an important role in the emission spectrum and this may influence the temporal properties of the GRB afterglow.
