Cooling of young neutron stars in GRB associated to Supernova

Rodrigo Negreiros, Remo Ruffini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +1

Recent observations of the late (-- s) emission of supernovae (SNe) associated to GRBs (GRB-SN) show a distinctive emission in the X-ray regime consistent with temper…

The luminosity evolution over the EQuiTemporal Surfaces in the prompt emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Carlo Luciano Bianco, Francesco Alessandro Massucci, Remo Ruffini

Due to the ultrarelativistic velocity of the expanding "fireshell" (Lorentz gamma factor γ\sim 10^2 - 10^3), photons emitted at the same time from the fireshell surface do not reac…

Electron and positron pair production of compact stars

Wen-Biao Han, Remo Ruffini, She-Sheng Xue

Neutral stellar core at or over nuclear densities is described by a positive charged baryon core and negative charged electron fluid since they possess different masses and interac…

Theory of photospheric emission from relativistic outflows

R. Ruffini, I. A. Siutsou, G. V. Vereshchagin

In this paper we reexamine the optical depth of ultrarelativistic spherically symmetric outflows and reevaluate the photospheric radius for each model during both the acceleration…

On the equilibrium of self-gravitating neutrons, protons and electrons in β-equilibrium

Michael Rotondo, Jorge A. Rueda, Remo Ruffini +1

We have recently proved the impossibility of imposing the condition of local charge neutrality in a self-gravitating system of degenerate neutrons, protons and electrons in -equ…

Fundamental physics from black holes, neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts

Remo Ruffini

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe) bring new perspectives to the study of neutron stars and white dwarfs, as well as opening new branches of theoretical physics and astro…
