The internal shock model for gamma-ray bursts involves shocks taking place in a relativistic wind with a very inhomogeneous initial distribution of the Lorentz factor. We have developed a 1D lagrangian hydrocode to follow the evolution of such a wind and the results we have obtained are compared to those of a simpler model presented in a recent paper (Daigne & Mochkovitch 1998) where all pressure waves are suppressed in the wind so that shells with different velocities only interact by direct collisions. The detailed hydrodynamical calculation essentially confirms the conclusion of the simple model: the main temporal and spectral properties of gamma-ray bursts can be reproduced by internal shocks in a relativistic wind.

  1. Can GRB Empirical Correlations Be Used for Population Studies?

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulations show that pseudo-redshifts from three popular GRB correlations badly distort the true redshift distribution and GRB rate, so the correlations cannot be trusted for population-level distance measurements.

  2. GRB 250706B/C: Insight-HXMT Discovery of a High-Luminosity Burst as a Candidate for Fallback-Regulated Accretion in the Prompt Emission

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

    GRB 250706B/C exhibits temporal features consistent with fallback-regulated accretion operating on a high-luminosity branch in a collapsar.
