Gamma-ray bursts: calorimetry on echoes in gravitational waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Black hole-torus powered by the spin energy of a Kerr black hole. Equivalence in poloidal topology to pulsar magnetospheres suggests a long-lived state in suspended accretion when the black hole spins rapidly. The rotational energy is released in several channels: baryon-poor jets along open flux tubes extending from the horizon to infinity, gravitational radiation from the torus, winds and, conceivably, neutrino emissions. Gravitational radiation is expected to be representative of the rotational energy of the black hole, exceeding the output along the open flux tube by some two orders of magnitude. LIGO/VIRGO detections can hereby provide us with a calorimetric test of Kerr black holes. PACS numbers: 0430D, 9760L, 9870R

A calorimetric test for Kerr black holes in gamma - ray bursts
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts are potentially associated with systems harboring a rotating black hole. Calorimetry on yet " unseen " emissions in gravitational waves from a surrounding torus may provide a measure for its rotational energy. We introduce a compactness parameter α = 2π f dE for the fluence E and frequency f in graviational waves. For black hole-torus systems, α ≃ 2πEf ≃ 0.005 − 0....
متن کاملPolarized Gravitational Waves from Gamma-Ray Bursts
Significant gravitational wave emission is expected from gamma-ray bursts arising from compact stellar mergers, and possibly also from bursts associated with fast-rotating massive stellar core collapses. These models have in common a high angular rotation rate, and observations provide evidence for jet collimation of the photon emission, with properties depending on the polar angle. Here we con...
متن کاملSwift Pointing and Gravitational-Wave Bursts from Gamma-Ray Burst Events
The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar-mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with the black-hole formation, and their detection would permit this model to be tested. Even upper limits on the gravitational-wave strength associated with gammaray bursts could constrain the gamma-ray burst model. This...
متن کاملSwift Pointing and the Association Between Gamma-Ray Bursts and Gravitational-Wave Bursts
The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with the black-hole formation, and their detection would permit this model to be tested, the black hole progenitor (e.g., coalescing binary or collapsing stellar core) identified, and the origin of the gamma rays (within ...
متن کاملGrb Afterglow Plateaus and Gravitational Waves: Multi-messenger Signature of a Millisecond Magnetar?
The existence of a shallow decay phase in the early X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts is a common feature. Here we investigate the possibility that this is connected to the formation of a highly magnetized millisecond pulsar, pumping energy into the fireball on timescales longer than the prompt emission. In this scenario the nascent neutron star could undergo a secular bar-mode instability, ...
