Grb110721a: an extreme peak energy and signatures of the photosphere

Magnus Axelsson, +139 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (LAT) was used to observe the gamma-ray burst of GRB110721A, which lasted for approximately 24.5 s (in the GBM) and had a peak flux of (5.7 +/- 0.2) 10(exp -5) erg s (exp -1) cm(exp −2)
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for a photospheric component in the prompt emission of the short grb 120323a and its effects on the grb hardness-luminosity relation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the spectral properties of a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) and its evolution using two spectral models: (1) a single emission component scenario, where the spectrum is modeled by the empirical Band function (a broken power law), and (2) a two-component scenario where thermal (a Planck-like function) emission is observed simultaneously with a non-thermal component (a Band function).

Evidence for a Photospheric Component in the Prompt Emission of the Short GRB120323A and its Effects on the GRB Hardness-Luminosity Relation

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-component model was proposed for GRB 120323A, where the spectrum is modeled by the empirical Band function and thermal emission is observed simultaneously with a non-thermal component (a Band function).
