A leptonic-hadronic model for the afterglow of gamma-ray burst 090510.

RAZZAQUE S.

Abstract (from CDS):

We model multiwavelength afterglow data from the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 090510 using a combined leptonic-hadronic model of synchrotron radiation from an adiabatic blast wave. High-energy, ≳ 100 MeV, emission in our model is dominated by proton-synchrotron radiation, while electron-synchrotron radiation dominates in the X-ray and ultraviolet wavelengths. The collimation-corrected GRB energy, depending on the jet-break time, in this model could be as low as 3x1051 erg but two orders of magnitude larger than the absolute γ-ray energy. We also calculated the opacities for electron-positron pair production by γ-rays and found that TeV γ-rays from proton-synchrotron radiation can escape the blast wave at early time, and their detection can provide evidence of a hadronic emission component dominating at high energies.
