Shock Breakout from Stellar Envelopes: The Relativistic Limit
We calculate the observed luminosity and spectrum following the emergence of a relativistic shock wave from a stellar edge. Shock waves propagating at 0.6 < Γ _sh β _sh , where Γ _sh is the shock Lorentz factor, and β _sh is its associated reduced velocity, heat the stellar envelope to temperatur...
