X-ray Flashes from Off-axis Gamma-Ray Bursts
Ioka and Nakamura (2001) proposed a simple jet model which is compatible with the peak luminosity-spectral lag relation, the peak luminosity-variability relation and various other relations in the Gamma-Ray Bursts. If the viewing angle is much larger than the collimation angle of the jet in the model by Ioka and Nakamura, for appropriate model parameters we obtain the observational characterist...
متن کاملX-ray Transients from X-ray Binaries to Gamma Ray Bursts
We discuss three classes of x-ray transients to highlight three new types of transients found with the Wide Field Cameras onboard BeppoSAX. First there are the transients related to Low Mass X-ray Binaries in outburst, typically lasting weeks to months and reaching luminosities of the Eddington limit for a few solar masses. Recently another subclass of outbursts in such binaries has been discov...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts from Extragalactic Magnetar Flares
The prototype for events that we call MFs—“March Fifth” events or “Magnetar Flares”—was observed on March 5, 1979. There is evidence that MFs are powered by catastrophic magnetic instabilities in ultra-magnetized neutron stars. These events begin with brief (∆t ∼ 0.1–1 s), intense, hard spikes of gamma rays, probably emitted in concurrence with relativistic outflows; followed by long (t ∼ 100 s...
متن کاملOff-axis Afterglow Emission from Jetted Gamma-ray Bursts
We calculate gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow light curves from a relativistic jet as seen by observers at various viewing angles, vobs, relative to the jet axis. We describe three increasingly more realistic models and compare the resulting light curves. An observer at , where v0 is the initial jet opening angle, should see v ! v obs 0 a light curve very similar to that for an on-axis observer....
متن کاملGamma-ray bursts from X-ray binaries
A weakly magnetized (∼ 107G) neutron star, slowly spun up by accretion in an X-ray binary, crosses the instability boundary for r-mode instability at P=1–2 msec. The amplitude of the oscillation, which initially increases only at the spinup time scale, is secularly unstable due to the negative temperature dependence of the viscosity in neutron star matter, and diverges after a few hundred years...
