The Gravitational Polarization in General Relativity: Solution to Szekeres' Model of Quadrupole Polarization

Giovanni Montani, Remo Ruffini, Roustam Zalaletdinov

A model for the static weak-field macroscopic medium is analyzed and the equation for the macroscopic gravitational potential is derived. This is a biharmonic equation which is a n…

GRB 980425, SN1998bw and the EMBH model

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +3

The EMBH model, previously developed using GRB 991216 as a prototype, is here applied to GRB 980425. We fit the luminosity observed in the 40-700 keV, 2-26 keV and 2-10 keV bands b…

On the possible role of massive neutrinos in cosmological structure formation

M. Lattanzi, R. Ruffini, G. Vereshchagin

In addition to the problem of galaxy formation, one of the greatest open questions of cosmology is represented by the existence of an asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the…

electron-positron-photon plasma around a collapsing star

R. Ruffini, L. Vitagliano, S. -S. Xue

We describe electron-positron pairs creation around an electrically charged star core collapsing to an electromagnetic black hole (EMBH), as well as pairs annihilation into photons…

On Plasma Oscillations in Strong Electric Fields

R. Ruffini, L. Vitagliano, S. -S. Xue

We describe the creation and evolution of electron-positron pairs in a strong electric field as well as the pairs annihilation into photons. The formalism is based on generalized V…

New perspectives in physics and astrophysics from the theoretical understanding of Gamma-Ray Bursts

R. Ruffini, C. L. Bianco, P. Chardonnet +3

If due attention is given in formulating the basic equations for the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) phenomenon and in performing the corresponding quantitative analysis, GRBs open a main av…
