Self-consistent simulations reveal that reverse shocks in GRB photospheres stay radiation-mediated down to optical depths of a few tenths, with photons decoupling over a broad radial range and forming a quasi-thermal post-cursor.

A dynamical model of magnetar-driven jet and PWN emission predicts a sequence of thermal, X-ray plateau, and late synchrotron/inverse-Compton radiation that accounts for key features in merger GRBs.
Decaying magnetic fields in fast-cooling synchrotron emission partially harden the low-energy index but still produce a distribution centered near α ≈ −1.5, falling short of reproducing the observed GBM catalog at the population level.

Fast-Cooling Synchrotron in Decaying Magnetic Fields: Implications for the GRB Spectral Distribution
Decaying magnetic fields in fast-cooling synchrotron emission partially harden the low-energy index but still produce a distribution centered near α ≈ −1.5, falling short of reproducing the observed GBM catalog at the population level.
