Non-thermal high-energy emissions from black holes by a relativistic capillary effect
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Gravitational spin-orbit interactions induce a relativistic capillary effect along open magnetic flux-tubes, that join the event horizon of a spinning black hole to infinity. It la…
Constraints on Type Ib/c and GRB Progenitors
C. L. Fryer, P. A. Mazzali, J. Prochaska +14
Although there is strong support for the collapsar engine as the power source of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), we still do not definitively know the progenitor of these ex…
Branching ratio of Type Ib/c supernovae into GRB-supernovae
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
We study centered and decentered nucleation of black holes in core-collapse of massive stars in binaries. By Bekenstein's gravitational-radiation recoil mechanism, a newly nucleate…
Line-broadening in gravitational radiation from gamma-ray burst-supernovae
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Hyun Kyu Lee, Chul H. Lee +1
Core-collapse in massive stars is believed to produce a rapidly spinning black hole surrounded by a compact disk or torus. This forms an energetic MeV-nucleus inside a remnant He-c…
Gravitational wave frequencies and energies in hypernovae
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
A torus develops a state of suspended accretion against a magnetic wall around a rapidly rotating black hole formed in core-collapse hypernovae. It hereby emits about 10% of the bl…
Proposed gravitational wave background from black hole-torus systems
David M. Coward, Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Ronald R. Burman
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts may be powered by rotating black holes with contemporaneous emission of gravitational radiation from a surrounding torus. We calculate the resulting s…
Gamma-ray bursts: the tip of the iceberg?
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
The spin-energy of a Kerr black hole surrounded by a torus may power emissions in multiple windows. The recently determined true GRB-energy of erg ind…
A calorimetric test for Kerr black holes in gamma-ray bursts
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts are potentially associated with systems harboring a black rotating black hole. Calorimetry on yet "unseen" emissions in gravitational waves from a sur…
Gamma-ray bursts and gravitational radiation from black hole-torus systems
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are probably powered by systems harboring a rotating black hole. These may result from hypernovae or black hole-neutron star coalescence. We id…
Gravitational radiation from a torus around a black hole
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from rapidly spinning black hole-torus systems may represent hypernovae or black hole-neutron star coalescence. We show that the torus may radiate grav…
Calorimetry of gamma-ray bursts: echos in gravitational waves
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Amir Levinson
Black holes surrounded by a disk or torus may drive the enigmatic cosmological gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Equivalence in poloidal topology to pulsar magnetospheres shows a high incid…
Hyper- and suspended-accretion states of rotating black holes and the durations of gamma-ray bursts
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Eve C. Ostriker
We analyze the temporal evolution of accretion onto rotating black holes subject to large-scale magnetic torques. Wind torques alone drive a disk towards collapse in a finite time…
Electric Charge and Magnetic Flux on Rotating Black Holes in a Force-Free Magnetosphere
Hyun Kyu Lee, Chul H. Lee, Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
The electric charge on rotating black holes is calculated to be ~ BJ in the force-free configuration of Ghosh (2000), with a horizon flux of ~ BM^2. This charge is gravitationally…
Electron-positron outflow from black holes and the formation of winds
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
The collapse of young massive stars or the coalescence of a black hole-neutron star binary is expected to give rise to a black hole-torus system. When the torus is strongly magneti…
An -frequency dynamics algorithm for gravitational waves
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten, Abhinanda Sarkar
Coalescence of low mass compact binaries of neutron stars and black holes are primary burst sources for LIGO and VIRGO.Of importance in the early stages of observations will be the…
Electron-positron outflow from black holes
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) appear as the brightest transient phenomena in the Universe. The nature of the central engine in GRBs is a missing link in the theory of fireballs to their…
Uniqueness in MHD in divergence form: right nullvectors and well-posedness
Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
Magnetohydrodynamics in divergence form describes a hyperbolic system of covariant and constraint-free equations. It comprises a linear combination of an algebraic constraint and F…
Formation, Evolution, and the Structure of Fronts Produced By Unsteady Injection of Highly Magnetized, Relativistic Flows
Amir Levinson, Maurice H. P. M. van Putten
We study the formation, evolution and structure of dissipative fronts produced by overtaking collisions of relativistic streams, with emphasis on strongly magnetized flows. The evo…
