Observational Characteristics of Radiation-mediated Shocks in Photospheric Gamma-Ray Burst Emission
Emission from the photosphere in gamma-ray burst jets can be substantially affected by subphotospheric energy dissipation, which is typically caused by radiation-mediated shocks. We study the observational characteristics of such emission, in particular the spectral signatures. Relevant shock initia...
