Evolution and Merging of Binaries with Compact Objects
H. A. Bethe, G. E. Brown, C. -H. Lee
In the light of recent observations in which short gamma-ray bursts are interpreted as arising from black-hole(BH), neutron-star(NS) or NS-NS mergings we would like to review our r…
Broad and shifted iron-group emission lines in gamma-ray bursts as tests of the hypernova scenario
G. C. McLaughlin, R. A. M. J. Wijers, G. E. Brown +1
In the hypernova/collapsar model of gamma-ray bursts, it is natural that radiation is emitted by the inner engine for some time after the burst. This has been discussed as a possib…
Effective Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction and Fermi Liquid Theory
A. Schwenk, G. E. Brown, B. Friman
We present two novel relations between the quasiparticle interaction in nuclear matter and the unique low momentum nucleon-nucleon interaction in vacuum. These relations provide tw…
Low Momentum Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction and Fermi Liquid Theory
A. Schwenk, G. E. Brown, B. Friman
We use the induced interaction of Babu and Brown to derive two novel relations between the quasiparticle interaction in nuclear matter and the unique low momentum nucleon-nucleon i…
Discovery of a Black-hole Mass - Period Correlation in Soft X-ray Transients and its Implication for Gamma-Ray Burst and Hypernova Mechanisms
Chang-Hwan Lee, G. E. Brown, R. A. M. J. Wijers
We investigate the soft X-ray transients with black hole primaries which may have been the sources of gamma-ray bursts and hypernovae earlier in their evolution. We find that the b…
The Evolution of Relativistic Binary Progenitor Systems
G. J. Francischelli, R. A. M. J. Wijers, G. E. Brown
Relativistic binary pulsars, such as B1534+12 and B1913+16 are characterized by having close orbits with a binary separation of ~ 3 R_\sun. The progenitor of such a system is a neu…
