Radiative transfer models for gamma-ray bursts.

VURM I. and BELOBORODOV A.M.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present global radiative transfer models for heated relativistic jets. The simulations include all relevant radiative processes, starting deep in the opaque zone and following the evolution of radiation to and beyond the photosphere of the jet. The transfer models are compared to three gamma-ray bursts GRB 990123, GRB 090902B, and GRB 130427A, which have well-measured and different spectra. The models provide good fits to the observed spectra in all three cases, and we obtain estimates for the jet magnetization parameter εB and the Lorentz factor Γ. In the small sample of three bursts, εB varies between 0.01 and 0.05, and Γ varies between 300 and 1200.
