And Don't Forget The Black Holes
H. A. Bethe, G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee
The discovery of the highly relativistic neutron star (NS) binary (in which both NS's are pulsars) not only increases the estimated merging rate for the two NS's by a large factor,…
Evolution and Merging of Binaries with Compact Objects
H. A. Bethe, G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee
In the light of recent observations in which short gamma-ray bursts are interpreted as arising from black-hole(BH), neutron-star(NS) or NS-NS mergings we would like to review our r…
Broad and shifted iron-group emission lines in gamma-ray bursts as tests of the hypernova scenario
G. C. McLaughlin, R. A. M. J. Wijers, G. E. Brown +1
In the hypernova/collapsar model of gamma-ray bursts, it is natural that radiation is emitted by the inner engine for some time after the burst. This has been discussed as a possib…
Formation of High Mass X-ray Black Hole Binaries
G. E. Brown, A. Heger, N. Langer +3
The discrepancy in the past years of many more black-hole soft X-ray transients (SXTs), of which a dozen have now been identified, had challenged accepted wisdom in black hole evol…
A Theory of Gamma-Ray Bursts
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, R. A. M. J. Wijers +3
We present a specific scenario for the link between GRB and hypernovae, based on Blandford-Znajek extraction of black-hole spin energy. Such a mechanism requires a high angular mom…
Is Nova Sco 1994 (GRO 1655-40) a Relic of a GRB ?
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, H. K. Lee +1
We suggest Nova Sco 1994 (GRO 1655-40) as a possible relic of a Gamma Ray Burster (GRB) and Type Ib supernova (SN) explosion, showing that there is evidence both that the black hol…
