Torsional Magnetic Oscillations in Type I X-ray Bursts
Thermonuclear burning on the surface of a neutron star causes the expansion of a thin outer layer of the star, ∆R(t). The layer rotates slower than the star due to angular momentum conservation. The shear between the star and the layer acts to twist the star’s dipole magnetic field giving at first a trailing spiral field. The twist of the field acts in turn to ‘torque up’ the layer increasing i...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts and Type Ic Supernova: SN 1998bw
Recently a Type Ic supernova, SN 1998bw, was discovered coincident with a gamma-ray burst, GRB 980425. The supernova had unusual radio, optical, and spectroscopic properties. Among other things, it was especially bright for a Type Ic and rose quickly to maximum. When modeled in the usual way as a spherically symmetric explosion, this requires a large mass of Ni, 0.45 0.60 M⊙, a quite massive st...
متن کاملCollapsars - Gamma-ray Bursts and Explosions in “failed Supernovae”
Using a two-dimensional hydrodynamics code (PROMETHEUS), we explore the continued evolution of rotating helium stars, Mα >∼10 M⊙ , whose iron core collapse does not produce a successful outgoing shock, but instead forms a black hole of 2 3 M ⊙ . The model explored in greatest detail is the 14 M ⊙ helium core of a 35 M ⊙ main sequence star. The outcome is sensitive to the angular momentum. For j...
متن کاملAstrophysical explosions: from solar flares to cosmic gamma-ray bursts
Astrophysical explosions result from the release of magnetic, gravitational or thermonuclear energy on dynamical time scales, typically the sound-crossing time for the system. These explosions include solar and stellar flares, eruptive phenomena in accretion discs, thermonuclear combustion on the surfaces of white dwarfs and neutron stars, violent magnetic reconnection in neutron stars, thermon...
متن کاملStellar Explosions: from Supernovae to Gamma-ray Bursts
Current understanding of core collapse and thermonuclear supernovae is reviewed. Recent progress in unveiling the nature of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRB) is discussed, with the focus on the apparent link of several GRBs with an energetic subclass of stellar explosions, type Ib/c core-collapse supernovae. This relation provides the strong case that the GRB phenomenon is connected with the final ...
