abstract

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the strongest explosions in the Universe, which due to their extreme character likely involve some of the strongest magnetic fields in nature. This review discusses the possible roles of magnetic fields in GRBs, from their central engines, through the launching, acceleration and collimation of their ultra-relativistic jets, to the dissipation and particle acceleration that power their $\gamma$-ray emission, and the powerful blast wave they drive into the surrounding medium that generates their long-lived afterglow emission. An emphasis is put on particular areas in which there have been interesting developments in recent years.

  1. Deep Newtonian Afterglows: Theoretical Light Curves for Quasi-spherical Outflows

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    An analytical model for multiwavelength synchrotron emission from decelerated quasi-spherical ejecta with energy injection in stratified environments is developed for the deep Newtonian regime of GRB afterglows.
