Alfvénic turbulence naturally produces the Band function with α = 1, β = 2 (Thompson, 1994) Prompt peak is synchrotron radiation from photosphere r ph = cm L 3/5 t,53 r2/5 0,7 η 3/ AU Γ ph = (r ph /r 0 ) 1/3 = 87 L 1/5 t,53 ζ1/5 r r 1/5 0,7 η 1/5 600 ε obs ph,syn = 310 kev ζ 1/2 r (1 ζ r ) 1/2 r 1/2 0,7 ɛ1/2 B,0 Γ r 3 ( 1+z ) 1 2 weak thermal component T(r ph ) = 2.7 kev L 1/60 t,53 ζr 4/15 η 4/ r 7/30 0,7 Γr 1/2 ( 1+z ) 1 2 Pairs at the photosphere? -consider both cases.

If RS is present, strong extra component Can reproduce: -smooth Band spectrum -Band spectrum + extra PL component + cutoff for more, please see: arxiv: Péter Veres and Péter Mészáros (PSU) Multicomponent HE spectra GRB conf. 2012, München 16 / 16

26 Backup slides Why we do not invoke internal shocks? Internal shocks are radiatively inefficient and also are typically expected at radii r is = ctγ t v, 3 Γ3 2 cm, too small for both showing small variability and to allow GeV photons to escape (R γγ cm). Dissipative photospheres can be 50% radiatively efficient; their spectrum reproduce the Band function, with a peak which is thermal (baryonic dyn) or synchrotron (mag.dyn), and where low and high energy slopes are due to scattering (baryonic) and or Synch/IC (magn dyn) - see Thompson 94, Rees, Mészáros05, Pe er, Mészáros, Rees 06 and Beloborodov 11. Magnetic dynamics: useful because (a) suspect mag. fields dominant in high E iso bursts (since need Blandford-Znajek), (b) dissipation very efficient due to reconnection, (c) spectrum is Band-like (Giannios 07, Thompson 94 or Vurm 11).
