E peak - alpha Correlation in Time Resolved GRB Spectra: A Bottom-Up Approach with Optically Thin Inverse Compton Scattering Model
This episode discusses a paper modeling Gamma-ray burst spectra using an optically thin inverse Compton scattering model to explain the correlation between Epeak and alpha. The team showed that this single-component model naturally produces the observed hard low-energy slopes and spectral shifts, providing a simpler explanation than complex multi-component models.
