The Case for Hypercritical Accretion in M33 X-7
E. Moreno Mendez, G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee +1
The spin parameter of the black hole in M33 X-7 has recently been measured to be a*=0.77+-0.05 (Liu et al. 2008). It has been proposed that the spin of the 15.65 M_sun black hole i…
LMC X-3 May Be a Relic of a GRB Similar to Cosmological GRBs
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, E. Moreno Mendez
The present scenario for high-luminosity long gamma-ray bursts is strongly influenced by the paper of Fruchter et al. (2006). Whereas the main contention of this paper that these G…
GRBs and Hypernova Explosions of Some Galactic Sources
G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee, E. Moreno Mendez
Knowing the Kerr parameters we can make quantitative calculations of the rotational energy of black holes. We show that Nova Sco (GRO J1655 - 40), Il Lupi (4U 1543 - 47), XTE J1550…
Kerr Parameters for Stellar Mass Black Holes and Their Consequences for GRBs and Hypernovae
E. Moreno Mendez, G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee +1
Recent measurements of the Kerr parameters a* for two black-hole binaries in our Galaxy (Shafee et al. 2006), GRO J1655-40 and 4U 1543-47 of a*=0.65-0.75 and a*=0.75-0.85, respecti…
