Energy Sources of Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters
K. S. Cheng, Z. G. Dai
Quiescence and burst emission and relativistic particle winds of soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) have been widely interpreted to result from ultrastrongly magnetized neutron stars.…
The polarization and beaming effect for GRBs
K. S. Cheng, J. H. Fan, Z. G. Dai
Both observations and theoretical models suggest that the emissions in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the afterglows are beamed. We argue that the recent polarization measured in the…
A Possible Model for the Supernova/Gamma-Ray Burst Connection
X. Y. Wang, Z. G. Dai, T. Lu +2
Conversion from neutron stars to strange stars as a possible mechanism of cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been discussed in previous works, although the existence of stran…
GRB: A Signature of Phase Transition to QGP?
R. X. Xu, Z. G. Dai, B. H. Hong +1
It is suggested that the inner energetic engine of Gamma ray burst (GRB) may be the result of the transition of normal hadron to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in rapidly-rotating and sp…
A Two-Step Model for Gamma-Ray Bursts Associated with Supernovae
K. S. Cheng, Z. G. Dai
We here propose a two-step model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) associated with supernovae. In the first step, the core collapse of a star with mass leads to a massive…
