Abstract: We present an implementation of a self-consistent way of modelling synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) effects in gamma-ray burst afterglows, with and without approximated Klein–Nishina suppressed scattering for the afterglow modelling code boxfit, which is currently based… read more here.

Abstract: Observations of TeV emission from early gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows revealed the long sought for inverse Compton (IC) upscattering of the lower energy synchrotron. However, it turned out that the long hoped for ability to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2138
Abstract: In the standard synchrotron afterglow model, a power law of electrons is responsible for all aspects of photon production and absorption. Recent numerical work has shown that the vast majority of particles in the downstream… read more here.
