Petropoulou M, Mastichiadis A. On the Synchrotron and SSC Emission of GRB Afterglows — Some Analytical Results. In: Vol. 424. ; 2010. pp. 314. WebsiteAbstract
We present analytical and numerical results of the electron radiation spectrum during the GRB afterglow phase as produced by particle acceleration in an external shockwave.
Petropoulou M, Mastichiadis A. X-ray plateaus in the context of the one-zone SSC model for GRB afterglows. In: Vol. 1279. ; 2010. pp. 379 - 381. WebsiteAbstract
We investigate the impact that the upper cutoff of the electron distribution has on the multiwavelength GRB afterglow spectra and on the corresponding X-ray light curves. We show under which conditions X-ray light curves with a plateau phase can be produced in this picture.
