Gamma Ray Bursts from Interaction of Relativistic Flows with Radiation Fields
Amotz Shemi
Abstract
Relativistic flows resulting from sudden explosive events upscatter ambient interstellar photons of local radiation fields. For Lorentz factor > 100 and dense optical - UV radiation fields the emergent signal is a typical gamma ray burst. Presumably the explosions occur in dense globular clusters or in galactic nuclei, at cosmological distances.
