Gamma Ray Bursts Cook Book II: Simulation

Understand

In Paper I we presented a detailed formulation of the relativistic shocks and synchrotron emission in the context of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) physics.

• To see how well this model reproduces the observed characteristics of the GRBs and their afterglows, here we present the results of some simulations based on this model.
• They are meant to reproduce the prompt and afterglow emission in some intervals of time during a burst.
• We show that this goal is achieved for both short and long GRBs and their afterglows, at least for part of the parameter space.
