Jets in grbs
In several GRBs afterglows, rapid temporal decay is observed which is inconsistent with
spherical (isotropic) blast-wave models. In particular, GRB 980519 had the most rapidly …

Fast radio bursts as synchrotron maser emission from decelerating relativistic blast waves
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can arise from synchrotron maser emission at ultrarelativistic
