Toward a New Model of the Central Engine of GRB∗
We present new developments of the simple model of the central engine of GRB, proposed recently. The model is based on minimal assumptions: some rotating compact relativistic object at the center and stable perturbations of its rotating gravitational field, described by Teukolsky Master Equation. We show that using nonstandard polynomial solutions to the angular Teukolsky equation we can descri...
متن کاملGamma-ray Burst Early Optical Afterglow: Implications for the Initial Lorentz Factor and the Central Engine
Early optical afterglows have been observed from GRB 990123, GRB 021004, and GRB 021211, which reveal rich emission features attributed to reverse shocks. It is expected that Swift will discover many early afterglows. Here we introduce a straightforward recipe for directly constraining the initial Lorentz factor of the fireball using the combined forward and reverse shock optical afterglow data...

Early optical afterglows have been observed from GRB 990123, GRB 021004, and GRB 021211, which reveal rich emission features attributed to reverse shocks. It is expected that Swift will discover many more early afterglows. Here we introduce a straightforward recipe for directly constraining the initial Lorentz factor of the fireball using the combined forward and reverse shock optical afterglow...
متن کاملGRB 060206: hints of precession of the central engine?
Aims. The high-redshift (z = 4.048) gamma-ray burst GRB 060206 showed unusual behavior, with a significant rebrightening by a factor of ∼4 at about 3000 s after the burst. We argue that this rebrightening implies that the central engine became active again after the main burst produced by the first ejecta, then drove another more collimated jet-like ejecta with a larger viewing angle. The two e...
متن کاملThe terminal bulk Lorentz factor of relativistic electron-positron jet
We present numerical simulation of bulk Lorentz factor of relativistic electronpositron jet driven by Compton rocket effect from accretion disk radiation. The plasma is assumed to have a power-law distribution ne(γ) ∝ γ −s ( 1 < γ < γmax) and is continuously reheated to compensate radiation losses. We include Klein-Nishina (hereafter KN) corrections, and study the role of energy upper cut-off γ...
