Excellent- More about Physics of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions in the universe, releasing energy comparable to the Sun's lifetime. This text, written by a leading researcher, covers all aspects of GRBs, including phenomenology, theoretical framework, afterglow, prompt emission models, progenitor, central engine, multi-messenger aspects, cosmological connections, and broader impacts on fundamental physics and astrobiology. It is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and experienced researchers.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions in the universe, releasing energy comparable to what the Sun releases in its entire lifetime within seconds. The field of GRBs has experienced remarkable growth and maturation over the past decades, with advancements in understanding and research. Written by a renowned researcher, this comprehensive text delves into the intricate physics of GRBs, providing a thorough treatment of all aspects.
It begins with an overview of the field, introducing the fundamental concepts and phenomenology of GRBs. The volume then delves into the realm of relativity, relativistic shocks, and leptonic and hadronic radiation processes, laying the foundation for subsequent discussions.
Covering a wide range of topics, the book explores GRBs in detail, including a general theoretical framework, models for afterglow and prompt emission, progenitor and central engine dynamics, multi-messenger aspects (cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gravitational waves), cosmological connections, and broader impacts on fundamental physics and astrobiology.
Suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and experienced researchers in the field of GRBs and high-energy astrophysics, this text serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their knowledge and understanding of these extraordinary phenomena.
