Central engine afterglow of Gamma-ray Bursts
Before 2004, nearly all GRB afterglow data could be understood in the context of the external shocks model. This situation has changed in the past two years, when it became clear that some afterglow components should be attributed to the activity of the central engine; i.e., the central engine afterglow. We review here the afterglow emission that is directly related to the GRB central engine. S...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts: The Central Engine
A variety of arguments suggest that the most common form of gammaray bursts (GRBs), those longer than a few seconds, involve the formation of black holes in supernova-like events. Two kinds of “collapsar” models are discussed, those in which the black hole forms promptly a second or so after iron core collapse and those in which formation occurs later, following “fallback” over a period of minu...
متن کاملEnergy Sources of Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters
Quiescence and burst emission and relativistic particle winds of soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) have been widely interpreted to result from ultrastrongly magnetized neutron stars. In this magnetar model, the magnetic energy and gravitational energy of the neutron stars are suggested as the energy sources of all the emission and winds. However, Harding, Contopoulos & Kazanas (1999) have shown t...
متن کاملJCMT observations of Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters
The spectra of the quiescent counterparts to the Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters SGR 1900+14 and SGR 1806–20 peak in the infrared. Their infrared spectra appear to contain several components: the photospheric emission from star(s) dominates at shorter wavelengths, a bright point source dominates at 25 μm, while an extended source dominates at 60 μm. However, we show here that these counterparts were n...
متن کاملUnveiling Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters with INTEGRAL
Thanks to INTEGRAL’s long exposures of the Galactic Plane, the two brightest Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14, have been monitored and studied in detail for the first time at hardX/soft gamma rays. This has produced a wealth of new scientific results, which we will review here. Since SGR 1806-20 was particularly active during the last two years, more than 300 short bursts h...
