GW170817/GRB 170817A/AT2017gfo/afterglow: what did the first NS-NS merger event tell us? | |||||
Coauthors | ||||||||
Abstract |
I will discuss the theoretical implications of the multi-messenger, multi-wavelength data of the first NS-NS merger event GW170817/GRB 170817A/AT2017gfo/afterglow, including the origin of GRB prompt emission, the 1.7s-delay between the GRB and the merger, the mechanisms of energy injection in the afterglow phase, the origin of the two-component kilonova emission, as well as a possible long-lived central engine in the remnant of the merger. |

Title |
FRB 121102 is special and its interpretation within the cosmic comb model | |||||
Coauthors | ||||||||
Abstract |
Dozens of FRB progenitor models have been discussed in the literature. I show that the published FRB data suggest that the repeater FRB121102 is abnormally active than other FRBs, suggesting that it is possible that there is more than one type FRBs. I discuss the cosmic comb model of FRBs and show that it can account for all the available data of FRB 121102. Three predictions are presented to test this model. |

Title |
On photospheric emission in GRBs | |||||
Coauthors | ||||||||
Abstract |
Photosphere emission likely contributes to the observed gamma-ray emission in at least some GRBs. I will present the arguments both in favor of and against the photosphere emission as the dominant emission component in GRBs. I will then argue that the GRB jet composition is diverse among GRBs. Photosphere emission is the dominating emission component in matter-dominated fireballs, but is suppressed in jets that are Poynting-flux-dominated. |
