Spectral Shapes of Pair Annihilation Line Emission in Magnetar Giant Flares

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We investigate the gamma-ray spectrum in the MeV range arising from electron–positron pair annihilation in fireballs associated with magnetar giant flares (MGFs), motivated by the recent observation of a MeV gamma-ray line feature in a bright gamma-ray ...
