A three stage model for the inner engine of GRBs: Prompt emission and early afterglow
Jan Staff, Brian Niebergal, Rachid Ouyed
We describe a model within the ``Quark-nova'' scenario to interpret the recent observations of early X-ray afterglows of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) with the Swift satellite. This…

Gamma Ray Burst engine activity within the quark nova scenario: Prompt emission, X-ray Plateau, and sharp drop-off
Jan Staff, Brian Niebergal, Rachid Ouyed
We present a three-stage model for a long GRB inner engine to explain the prompt gamma ray emission, and interpret recent Swift satellite observations of early X-ray afterglow plat…

SGRs and AXPs proposed as ancestors of the Magnificent seven
Brian Niebergal, Rachid Ouyed, Denis Leahy
The recently suggested correlation between the surface temperature and the magnetic field in isolated neutron stars does not seem to work well for SGRs, AXPs and X-ray dim isolated…
