Cosmic GRB energy - redshift relation and Primordial flares as possible energy source for the central engine
نویسنده
چکیده
By considering similar observed properties of gamma ray bursts (GRB) and solar flares with the prevailing physical conditions in the cosmic environment, the following study suggests that most likely and promising energy source for the central engine which triggers GRB may be due to primordial flares, solar flare like phenomena, at the sites of inter galactic or inter galactic clusters in the early universe. The derived energy-redshift relation , E = E0(1 + z) 3 (where E is the amount of energy released, z is the redshift of GRB and E0 is a constant which is estimated to be ∼ 10 ergs ), from the simple flare mechanism, is confirmed from the least square fit with the observed energy-redshift relation. Some of the physical parameters like length scale, strength of magnetic field, etc., of the flaring region of the GRB

MHD waves in the early universe and genesis of cosmic gamma ray bursts
It is conjectured that energy sources of the gamma ray bursts are similar to energy sources which trigger solar and stellar transient activity phenomena like flares, plasma accelerated flows in the flux tubes and, dissipation of energy and acceleration of particles by the MHD waves. Phenomenologically we examine in detail the following energy sources which may trigger gamma ray bursts : (i) cos...
متن کاملX - Ray Flares of Gamma - Ray Bursts : Quakes of Solid
We propose a star-quake model to understand X-ray flares of both long and short Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in a solid quark star regime. Two kinds of central engines for GRBs are available if pulsar-like stars are actually (solid) quark stars, i.e., the SNE-type GRBs and the SGR-type GRBs. It is found that a quark star could be solidified about 10 to 10 s later after its birth if the critical temp...
متن کاملGamma Ray Bursts and Cosmic Ray Origin
This paper presents the theoretical basis of the fireball/blast wave model, and some implications of recent results on GRB source models and cosmic-ray production from GRBs. BATSE observations of the prompt γ-ray luminous phase, and Beppo-SAX and long wavelength afterglow observations of GRBs are briefly summarized. Derivation of spectral and temporal indices of an adiabatic blast wave decelera...
متن کاملExternal Shocks, UHECRs, and the Early Afterglow of GRBs
— Highly variable γ-ray pulses and X-ray flares in GRB light curves can result from external shocks rather than central engine activity under the assumption that the GRB blast-wave shell does not spread. Acceleration of cosmic rays to > ∼ 10 eV energies can take place in the external shocks of GRBs. Escape of hadronic energy in the form of UHECRs leads to a rapidly decelerating GRB blast wave, ...
متن کاملAn Interpretation of the Evidence for Tev Emission from Gamma-ray Burst 970417a
The Milagrito collaboration recently reported evidence for emission of very high energy gamma-rays in the TeV range from one of the BATSE GRBs, GRB 970417a. Here I discuss possible interpretations of this result. Taking into account the intergalactic absorption of TeV gamma-rays by the cosmic infrared background, I found that the detection rate (one per 54 GRBs observed by the Milagrito) and en...
