Resolving Gamma-Ray Burst 000301C with a Gravitational Microlens
The afterglow of the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 000301C exhibited achromatic, short time-scale variability that is difficult to reconcile with the standard relativistic shock model. We interpret the observed light curves as a microlensing event superimposed on power-law flux decays typical of afterglows. In general, a relativistic GRB shock appears on the sky as a thin ring expanding at a superlumin...
متن کاملBeyond Gravitoelectromagnetism: Critical Speed in Gravitational Motion
A null ray approaching a distant astronomical source appears to slow down, while a massive particle speeds up in accordance with Newtonian gravitation. The integration of these apparently incompatible aspects of motion in general relativity is due to the existence of a critical speed. Dynamics of particles moving faster than the critical speed could then be contrary to Newtonian expectations. W...
متن کاملOn gravitational lensing by deflectors in motion
Gravitational lensing by a spinning deflector in translational motion relative to the observer is discussed in the weak field, slow motion approximation. The effect of rotation, which generates an intrinsic gravito-magnetic field, separates from that due to radial motion. Corrections to the lens equation, deflection angle and time delay are derived.
متن کاملCyclotron motion in a gravitational-wave background
We examine the motion of a relativistic charged particle in a constant magnetic field perturbed by gravitational waves incident along the direction of the magnetic field. We apply a generalized energy conservation law to compute the variations of the kinetic energy of the particle during the passage of the waves. We also explicitly compute the change in the orbit due to a wave with constant cur...
متن کاملThe Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Ogle #7: Binary Microlens or a New Unusual Variable?
We present the light curve of an unusual variable object, OGLE #7, detected during the OGLE search for microlensing events. After one season of being in a low, normal state, the star brightened by more than 2 mag with a characteristic double-maximum shape, and returned to normal brightness after 60 days. We consider possible explanations of the photometric behavior of OGLE #7. The binary microl...
