Is There a Relationship between the Density of Primordial Black Holes in a Galaxy and the Rate of Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts?
نویسنده
چکیده
The rate of accretion of matter from a solar-type star onto a primordial black hole (PBH) that passes through it is calculated. The probability that a PBH is captured into an orbit around a star in a galaxy is found. The mean lifetime of the PBH in such an orbit and the rate of orbital captures of PBHs in the galaxy are calculated. It is shown that this rate does not depend on the mass of the PBH. This mechanism cannot make an appreciable contribution to the rate of observed gamma-ray bursts. The density of PBHs in the galaxy can reach a critical value the density of the mass of dark matter in the galaxy.

Forty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
متن کاملCosmological Flashes from Rotating Black Holes
Current phenomenology suggests the presence of a compact baryon-poor energy source to cosmological gamma-ray bursts reacting to high-density matter. The association of short and long gamma-ray bursts with hyper-and suspended accretion onto slowly and rapidly spinning black holes predicts weak X-ray af-terglow emissions from short bursts, as in GRB050509B and GRB050709. Long gamma-ray bursts are...
متن کاملBlack Holes from the Dark Ages: Exploring the Reionization Era and Early Structure Formation with Quasars and Gamma-ray Bursts
The cosmic reionization era, which includes formation of the first stars, galaxies, and AGN, is now one of the most active frontiers of cosmological research. We review briefly our current understanding of the early structure formation, and use the ideas about a joint formation of massive black holes (which power the early QSOs) and their host galaxies to employ high-redshift QSOs as probes of ...
متن کاملA new search for primordial black hole evaporations using the Whipple gamma-ray telescope
Stephen Hawking’s prediction that black holes should radiate like black bodies has several important consequences, including the possibility of the detection of small (∼1015 g) black holes created in the very early universe. The detection of such primordial black holes (PBHs) would be an important discovery, not only confirming Hawking’s theory, but also providing valuable insights into the his...
متن کاملOn the Density of PBH’s in the Galactic Halo
Calculations of the rate of local Primordial Black Hole explosions often assume that the PBH’s can be highly concentrated into galaxies, thereby weakening the Page-Hawking limit on the cosmological density of PBH’s. But if the PBH’s are concentrated by a factor exceeding c/(H◦R◦) ≈ 4 × 10 , where R◦ = 8.5 kpc is the scale of the Milky Way, then the steady emission from the PBH’s in the halo wil...
