Photospheric emission in gamma ray bursts : Analysis and interpretation of observations made by the Fermi gamma ray space telescope

The large flashes of radiation that are observed in GRBs are generally believed to arise in a relativistic jetted outflow. This thesis addresses the question of how and where in the jet this radiation is produced. It further explores the jet properties that can be inferred from the observations made...
