Enigmatic Aspects of the Early Universe: Possibility of a 'Pre-Big Bang Phase'!
C Sivaram, Kenath Arun
In this paper it is suggested that inclusion of mutual gravitational interactions among the particles in the early dense universe can lead to a 'pre-big bang' scenario, with partic…
A Critique of Drexler Dark Matter
C. Sivaram, Kenath Arun, R. Nagaraja
Drexler dark matter is an alternate approach to dark matter that assumes that highly relativistic protons trapped in the halo of the galaxies could account for the missing mass. We…
Double Detonation of Sub-Chandrasekhar White Dwarfs and Subluminous Type Ia Supernovae
C. Sivaram, Kenath Arun
Type Ia supernovae are thought to result from thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarf stars. This model generally explains the observed properties with certain except…
Gamma Ray Burst triggering Supernova Explosion (and other effects on neighbouring stars)
C. Sivaram, Kenath Arun
The initial burst of a gamma ray burst (GRB) is usually followed by a longer-lived afterglow emitted at longer wavelengths. The evidence for a physical connection between GRBs and…
Possible Upper limits on Lorentz Factors in High Energy Astrophysical Processes
C. Sivaram, Kenath Arun
Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous physical phenomena in the universe. The relativistic effect on the blast wave associated with the GRB introduces the gamma factor. Her…
Can Population III Stars at High Redshifts produce GRB's?
C. Sivaram, Kenath Arun
Gamma ray bursts are the most luminous physical phenomena in the universe, consisting of flashes of gamma rays that last from seconds to hours. There have been attempts to observe…
