Magnetic fields and cosmic rays in GRBs: a self-similar collisionless foreshock

MV Medvedev, OV Zakutnyaya - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Cosmic rays accelerated by a shock form a streaming distribution of outgoing particles in the
foreshock region. If the ambient fields are negligible compared to the shock and cosmic ray …

The cosmic-ray precursor of relativistic collisionless shocks: a missing link in gamma-ray burst afterglows

M Milosavljević, E Nakar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
Collisionless shocks are commonly argued to be the sites of cosmic-ray (CR) acceleration.
We study the influence of CRs on weakly magnetized relativistic collisionless shocks and …

Radiation-mediated Shocks in Gamma-Ray Bursts: Subshock Photon Production

C Lundman, AM Beloborodov - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
