The seminar of the Astro & Theory Section takes place Wednesdays in E?? and on zoom, starting normally at 14.15. If you would like to suggest a seminar speaker or want to be added to the email list, please contact the organizer (Michael.Kachelriess@ntnu.no).
The (planned) seminars in 2023 are
- 22.02., Alexander van der Horst (George Washington U.): Radio View on Gamma-Ray Burst Extremes
Abstract: Many high-energy astrophysical sources accelerate electrons to extreme velocities, resulting in multi-wavelength emission from synchrotron and other radiation processes. Gamma-ray bursts represent some of the most extreme electron accelerators, in the collimated outflows, or jets, of massive stellar explosions and the mergers of compact objects. Observations of gamma-ray bursts across the electromagnetic spectrum, from GHz radio frequencies to TeV gamma-ray energies, provide a unique probe of electron acceleration due to the relativistic nature of their jets. I will discuss recent developments in this area, both observationally and in modeling the observations, focusing on gamma-ray burst extremes from a radio perspective.
