Kerr black holes and time profiles of gamma ray bursts
The cumulative light curves of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) smooth the spiky nature of the running light curve. The cumulative count increases in an approximately linear way with time t for most bursts. In 19 out of 398 GRBs with T90 > 2 s, the cumulative light curve was found to increase with time as ∼ t 2 implying a linear increase in the running light curve. The non-linear sections last for a sub...
متن کاملCosmological Time Dilation in Gamma Ray Bursts?
Norris et al. (1994) report that the temporal structure of faint gamma ray bursts is longer than that of bright bursts, as expected for time dilation in the cosmological models of burst origin. I show that the observed trends can easily be produced by a burst luminosity function and thus may not result from cosmological effects. A cosmological signature may be present, but the tests Norris et a...
متن کاملEvidence for the Galactic Origin of Gamma-ray Bursts
We propose a new criterion to divide the classical gamma-ray bursts into two classes on the basis of their distribution in the duration-hardness plane. We study the two proposed classes separately, dividing them into subsets of different hardness-ratio ranges. The intensity distribution (log N vs. log S) and the corresponding space distribution of the subsets provide us with a different scenari...
متن کاملTime Dilation of BATSE Gamma-ray Bursts
We perform several nonparametric correlation tests on the BATSE 3B data to search for evidence of cosmological time dilation. These tests account for the effects of data truncation due to threshold effects in both limiting brightness and limiting duration, enabling us to utilize a larger number of bursts than in previous analyses. We find little significant evidence for correlation between vari...
متن کاملThe physics of pulses in gamma-ray bursts: emission processes, temporal profiles and time lags
We present a simple, semi-analytical model to explain GRB temporal and spectral properties in the context of the internal shock model. Each individual pulse in the temporal profiles is produced by the deceleration of fast moving material by a comparatively slower layer within a relativistic wind. The spectral evolution of synthetic pulses is first obtained with standard equipartition assumption...
