Radio Extremes in Gamma-Ray Burts
Abstract
Many high-energy astrophysical sources accelerate electrons to extreme velocities, resulting in broadband emission from synchrotron and other radiation processes. Multi-wavelength gamma-ray burst observations provide a unique probe of electron acceleration due to the relativistic nature of their collimated outflows. I will discuss recent developments in this area, both observationally and in modeling the observations, focusing on gamma-ray burst extremes from a radio perspective.
