Long Gamma Ray Bursts from binary black holes
Agnieszka Janiuk, Szymon Charzyński, Michał Bejger
We consider a scenario for the longest duration gamma ray bursts, resulting from the collapse of a massive rotating star in a close binary system with a companion black hole. The p…
XIPE: the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Xavier Barcons, Ronaldo Bellazzini +96
X-ray polarimetry, sometimes alone, and sometimes coupled to spectral and temporal variability measurements and to imaging, allows a wealth of physical phenomena in astrophysics to…
Accretion and outflow from a magnetized, neutrino cooled torus around the gamma ray burst central engine
Agnieszka Janiuk, Patryk Mioduszewski, Monika Moscibrodzka
We calculate the structure and short-term evolution of a gamma ray burst central engine in the form of a turbulent torus accreting onto a stellar mass black hole. Our models apply…
On the Maximum Mass of Neutron Stars
N. Chamel, P. Haensel, J. L. Zdunik +1
One of the most intringuing questions about neutron stars concerns their maximum mass. The answer is intimately related to the properties of matter at densities far beyond that fou…
An evaluation of the exposure in nadir observation of the JEM-EUSO mission
J. H. Adams, S. Ahmad, J. -N. Albert +258
We evaluate the exposure during nadir observations with JEM-EUSO, the Extreme Universe Space Observatory, on-board the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station…
Magnetic flux paradigm for radio-loudness of AGN
Marek Sikora, Mitchell C. Begelman
We argue that the magnetic flux threading the black hole, rather than black hole spin or Eddington ratio, is the dominant factor in launching powerful jets and thus determining the…
