GRBs are extragalactic explosions that briefly outshine entire galaxies, but the mechanism that can release that much energy over a \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the author uses the Zeus-MP astrophysical hydrodynamics code to model the environment around a stellar progenitor prior to the burst. He then develops a new semi-analytic MHD and emission model to produce light curves for GRBs encountering these realistic density profiles. The work ultimately shows that the circumburst medium surrounding a GRB at the time of the explosion is much more complex than a pure wind, and that observed afterglows are entirely consistent with a large subset of proposed stellar progenitors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274762674327,"sku":"9783319381350","price":3633.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319381350.webp?v=1769280878","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/searching-for-the-long-duration-gamma-ray-burst-progenitor-9783319381350","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
