On Gamma-Ray Bursts

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +12

(Shortened) We show by example how the uncoding of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) offers unprecedented possibilities to foster new knowledge in fundamental physics and in astrophysics. Af…

Theoretical interpretation of "long" and "short" GRBs

Carlo Luciano Bianco, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Letizia Caito +6

Within the "fireshell" model we define a "canonical GRB" light curve with two sharply different components: the Proper-GRB (P-GRB), emitted when the optically thick fireshell of el…

Theoretical interpretation of luminosity and spectral properties of GRB 031203

Carlo Luciano Bianco, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Pascal Chardonnet +3

We show how an emission endowed with an instantaneous thermal spectrum in the co-moving frame of the expanding fireshell can reproduce the time-integrated GRB observed non-thermal…

The Blackholic energy and the canonical Gamma-Ray Burst

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +9

We outline the main results of our GRB model, based on the three interpretation paradigms we proposed in July 2001, comparing and contrasting them with the ones in the current lite…

The role of GRB 031203 in clarifying the astrophysical GRB scenario

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +7

The luminosity and the spectral distribution of the afterglow of GRB 031203 have been presented within our theoretical framework, which envisages the GRB structure as composed by a…

GRB 050315: A step toward the uniqueness of the overall GRB structure and the true nature of long GRBs

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +4

Using the Swift data of GRB 050315, we progress on the uniqueness of our theoretically predicted Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) structure as composed by a proper-GRB (P-GRB), emitted at the…
