GRB as explosions with standard power
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the distribution of observed energies of GRB with known redshifts can be explained by the hypothesis of the standard energy release E 0 = 5×10 51 ergs. Two situations are possible, either the beaming angle differs from burst to burst, or there is a universal emssion diagram in each burst, the observed difference being due to different viewing angles.

The Connection between Gamma-Ray Bursts and Extremely Metal-Poor Stars as Nucleosynthetic Probes of the Early Universe
The connection between the long GRBs and Type Ic Supernovae (SNe) has revealed the interesting diversity: (i) GRB-SNe, (ii) Non-GRB Hypernovae (HNe), (iii) X-Ray Flash (XRF)SNe, and (iv) Non-SN GRBs (or dark HNe). We show that nucleosynthetic properties found in the above diversity are connected to the variation of the abundance patterns of extremelymetal-poor (EMP) stars, such as the excess of...
متن کاملSupernova Explosions from Accretion Disk Winds
Winds blown from accretion disks formed inside massive rotating stars may result in stellar explosions observable as Type Ibc and Type II supernovae. A key feature of the winds is their ability to produce the radioactive Ni necessary to power a supernova light curve. The wind strength depends on accretion disk cooling by neutrino emission and photo-disintegration of bound nuclei. These cooling ...
متن کاملInduction of supernova - like explosions by γ - ray bursts in close binary systems
We propose that a γ-ray burst in one member of a binary may induce a supernova-like explosion of a close, white-dwarf companion. Such explosion might be brought about in rather light companions, which cannot undergo the standard accretion-induced explosion. This would give some GRB-associated supernova an appearance rather unlike that of the typical Type I. GRB 980425, if indeed associated with...
متن کاملCan Fireball Models Explain Gamma Ray Bursts?
The observed afterglows of gamma ray bursts, in particular that of GRB 970228 six months later, rule out spherical explosions powered by mergers or accretion induced collapse of compact stellar objects in galaxies as the origin of Gamma Ray Bursts. They can be produced by superluminal jets from such sources.
متن کاملAre Gamma-Ray Bursts a Standard Energy Reservoir?
One of the most important discoveries in the observation of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is that the total energy emitted by a GRB in γ-rays has a very narrow distribution around 1051 erg, which has led people to claim that GRBs are standard energy explosions. As people made the claim they have ignored the selection biases which must be important since GRB observations are strongly fluence or flux-l...
