Spectra and Light Curves of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows

abstract
The recently discovered GRB afterglow is believed to be described reasonably well by synchrotron emission from a slowing down relativistic shell that collides with an external medium. To compare theoretical models with afterglow observations we calculate here the broad band spectrum and corresponding light curve of synchrotron radiation from a power-law distribution of electrons in an expanding relativistic shock. Both the spectrum and the light curve consist of several power-law segments. The light curve is constructed under two limiting models for the hydrodynamical evolution of the shock: fully adiabatic and fully radiative. We compare the results with observations of $\gamma$-ray burst afterglows.

This paper derives quantitative correction factors for traditional SSA minimum energy estimates to account for inhomogeneity and non-spherical geometry in emitting regions.
High-resolution simulations demonstrate that two-zone models for GRB early afterglows fail to match hydrodynamic evolution in the Newtonian reverse shock regime before Blandford-McKee self-similarity, causing systematic overpredictions of emission depending on the transition prescription.
First blind optical identification of a z=0.153 sub-luminous GRB afterglow with Ic-BL SN, yielding a volumetric rate consistent with on-axis high-luminosity long GRBs.
Multi-band data for GRB 241025A require an ad-hoc factor-500 increase in shocked-material optical depth to match the observed radio spectral evolution within a structured-jet forward-shock model.
FRB 20240114A shows two epochs with distinct energy distribution indices and waiting time statistics, suggesting different burst types before and after March 21 2024.
New early multi-wavelength data on GRB 230328B shows afterglow with early bump and late achromatic rebrightening at ~4000 s, modeled via MCMC as forward shock plus late energy injection in a dusty S0 host with AV~0.8 and no supernova signature.
Late-time radio rebrightening in SN 2012ap is consistent with either progenitor mass-loss variation producing a density enhancement or an off-axis energetic jet viewed at large angle, potentially reclassifying it as GRB-like rather than weakly engine-driven.
A review of early optical GRB features including prompt emission, reverse shocks, and afterglow onset, highlighting robotic telescopes' role in constraining jet Lorentz factors and magnetization.
Overview of synergies between SKA radio observations and gamma-ray facilities for studying transient, variable, and steady GeV-TeV sources.
GRB 250424A afterglow shows simultaneous shallow decay in X-ray and optical bands modeled as continuous energy injection (q≈0.34) into a forward shock in constant-density medium, with E_K,iso ≈5.5×10^52 erg and no clear supernova component.
