Comptonization of photons near the photosphere of relativistic outflows

A. G. Aksenov, R. Ruffini, G. V. Vereshchagin

We consider the formation of photon spectrum at the photosphere of ultrarelativistically expanding outflow. We use the Fokker-Planck approximation to the Boltzmann equation, and ob…

Pair plasma relaxation time scales

A. G. Aksenov, R. Ruffini, G. V. Vereshchagin

By numerically solving the relativistic Boltzmann equations, we compute the time scale for relaxation to thermal equilibrium for an optically thick electron-positron plasma with ba…

The Blackholic energy and the canonical Gamma-Ray Burst IV: the "long", "genuine short" and "fake - disguised short" GRBs

Remo Ruffini, Alexey G. Aksenov, Maria Grazia Bernardini +13

(Shortened) [...] After recalling the basic features of the "fireshell model", we emphasize the following novel results: 1) the interpretation of the X-ray flares in GRB afterglows…

Thermalization of the mildly relativistic plasma

A. G. Aksenov, R. Ruffini, G. V. Vereshchagin

In the recent Letter [1] we considered the approach of nonequilibrium pair plasma towards thermal equilibrium state adopting a kinetic treatment and solving numerically the relativ…

The canonical Gamma-Ray Bursts: long, "fake"-"disguised" and "genuine" short bursts

Remo Ruffini, Alexey Aksenov, Maria Grazia Bernardini +7

The Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) offer the unprecedented opportunity to observe for the first time the blackholic energy extracted by the vacuum polarization during the process of gravi…

The canonical Gamma-Ray Bursts and their "precursors"

Remo Ruffini, Alexey G. Aksenov, Maria Grazia Bernardini +7

The fireshell model for Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) naturally leads to a canonical GRB composed of a proper-GRB (P-GRB) and an afterglow. P-GRBs, introduced by us in 2001, are sometime…
