Physics of Gamma-Ray Bursts Prompt Emission

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the most recent observational results and the current theoretical interpretation of gamma-ray bursts and highlight some areas of active theoretical research, and point towards gaps that still exist in our knowledge and promising directions for the future.

Diffusive Shock Acceleration Theory Revisited

TL;DR: In this paper, the acceleration of charged particles by shock waves predicts a power-law spectrum of accelerated particles, with the spectral index depending only on the compression ratio across the shock wave front.

The gamma-ray / infrared luminosity correlation of star-forming galaxies.

TL;DR: In this article, the gamma-ray luminosity-star formation rate relation obtained from infra-red luminosities is found to be biased to shallower slopes, and the best-fitting relation between the latter two is determined using simple, population-oriented models for cosmic-ray transport and cooling.

Persistence of precursor waves in two-dimensional relativistic shocks

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the efficiency of coherent upstream large-amplitude electromagnetic wave emission via synchrotron maser instability at relativistic magnetized shocks by using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.
