Dyadosphere formed in gravitational collapse

Neutral nuclear core vs super charged one
M. Rotondo, R. Ruffini, S. -S. Xue
Based on the Thomas-Fermi approach, we describe and distinguish the electron distributions around extended nuclear cores: (i) in the case that cores are neutral for electrons bound…
On Gamma-Ray Bursts
Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +12
(Shortened) We show by example how the uncoding of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) offers unprecedented possibilities to foster new knowledge in fundamental physics and in astrophysics. Af…
Theoretical interpretation of "long" and "short" GRBs
Carlo Luciano Bianco, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Letizia Caito +6
Within the "fireshell" model we define a "canonical GRB" light curve with two sharply different components: the Proper-GRB (P-GRB), emitted when the optically thick fireshell of el…
