Heating and deceleration of GRB fireballs by neutron decay
arXiv:astro-ph/0401355 · doi:10.1063/1.1810830
Abstract
Fireballs with high energy per baryon rest mass (> 400) contain a relatively slow neutron component. We show here that in this situation the thermal history of fireballs is very different from the standard adiabatic cooling.
