The fast radio burst luminosity function and death line in the low-twist Magnetar Model
(IOP, 2020)We explore the burst energy distribution of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the low-twist magnetar model of Wadiasingh & Timokhin (WT19). Motivated by the power-law fluence distributions of FRB 121102, we propose an elementary ... -
Monte Carlo Simulations of Compton Polarization in Astrophysical Sources
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)The description of many high-energy astrophysical sources relies on the production of relativistic jets that are accompanied by the acceleration of particles up to very high energies, and the production of non-thermal ... -
Probing the magnetic field in the GW170817 outflow using HESS observations
(IOP Publishing, 2020)The detection of the first electromagnetic counterpart to the binary neutron star (BNS) merger remnant GW170817 established the connection between short γ-ray bursts and BNS mergers. It also confirmed the forging of heavy ...
