Compton Spectrum from Poynting Flux Accelerated e+e- Plasma
arXiv:astro-ph/0604397 · doi:10.1063/1.2207889
Abstract
We report the Compton scattering emission from the Poynting flux acceleration of electron- positron plasma simulated by the 2-1/2 dimensional particle-in-cell(PIC) code. We show these and other remarkable properties of Poynting flux acceleration and Compton spectral output, and discuss the agreement with the observed spectra of GRBs and XRFs.
