نویسنده
چکیده
The rapid time variability of gamma-ray bursts implies the sources are very compact, and the peak luminosities are so high that some matter must be ejected at ultra-relativistic speeds. The very large Lorentz factors of the bulk flow are also indicated by the very broad and hard spectra. It is natural to expect that when the relativistic ejecta interact with the interstellar matter a strong synchrotron radio emission is generated, as is the case with supernova remnants and radio galaxies. We estimate that the strongest gamma-ray bursts may be followed by radio transients with peak fluxes as high as 0.1 Jy. The time of peak radio emission depends on the distance scale; it is less than a minute if the bursts are in the galactic halo, and about a week if the bursts are at cosmological distances.

New radio observations of the radio-jet X-ray binary Circinus X-1 over nearly an entire 16.6-day orbit are presented. The source continues to undergo radio flaring in the phase interval 0.0 – 0.2 and appears to be brightening since observations in the early 1990s. The radio flux density is well correlated with simultaneous soft Xray monitoring from the XTE ASM, including a secondary flare event...

" La theorie c'est bien, mais ca n'empeche pas d'exister. " Emile Charcot Abstract In the first two of these lectures, I present the evidence for baryonic dark matter and describe possible forms that it may take. The final lecture discusses formation of baryonic dark matter, and sets the cosmological context.

The possible low-frequency radio emission from the progenitors of gamma ray bursts can experience a delay from tens of seconds to hours on the way to the observer due to the dispersion in galactic and extragalactic plasma, and thus reach the observer as a radio afterglow of the burst. This opens a unique possibility (peculiar ”Time Machine”) of seeing what happened in that place before the cata...
