Cosmic blasts powered by a hot glow
Cosmic blasts powered by a hot glow, Nature Online, May 17, 2012. Davide Lazzati, a theorist at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, says that there will still be room for synchrotron radiation to contribute to the total gamma-ray flux, particularly at lower frequencies. And at the highest frequencies, Lazzati would invoke an altogether different emission mechanism: inverse Compton scattering, where energetic electrons knock into a photon and bump it up to higher energies.
