On the Origin of the Long Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow as Synchrotron Radiation from Binary-Driven Hypernovae
Abstract
Long gamma-ray bursts show an afterglow emission in the X-rays, optical, and radio wavelengths with luminosities that fade with time with a nearly identical power-law behavior. In this talk, I present an analytic treatment that shows that this afterglow is produced by synchrotron radiation from the supernova ejecta associated with binary-driven hypernovae.
