Relativistic Effects and GRB Polarization in Power-Law Evolution

Liang Li, She-Sheng Xue, Zi-Gao Dai

Despite decades of polarization observations and high-significance polarized -ray, X-ray, optical, and radio emissions in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been accumulating in dozen…

Nature of the ultrarelativistic prompt emission phase of GRB 190114C

R. Moradi, J. A. Rueda, R. Ruffini +7

We address the physical origin of the ultrarelativistic prompt emission (UPE) phase of GRB 190114C observed in the interval 1.9-3.99 s, by the Fermi-GBM in 10 keV-10 MeV . Thanks t…

Gravo-thermal catastrophe in gravitational collapse and energy progenitor of Gamma-Ray Bursts

She-Sheng Xue

We study the homologous collapse of stellar nuclear core, the virial theorem for hadron collisional relaxations, and photon productions from hadron collisions. We thus show the gra…

The morphology of the X-ray afterglows and of the jetted GeV emission in long GRBs

R. Ruffini, R. Moradi, J. A. Rueda +14

We recall evidence that long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have binary progenitors and give new examples. Binary-driven hypernovae (BdHNe) consist of a carbon-oxygen core (CO$_{\rm core}…

Self-similarity and power-laws in GRB 190114C

R. Ruffini, Liang Li, R. Moradi +10

Following Fermi and NOT observations, Ruffini et al. (2019b) soon identified GRB 190114C as BdHN I at z=0.424, it has been observed since, with unprecedented accuracy, [...] all th…

The inner engine of GeV-radiation-emitting gamma-ray bursts

R. Ruffini, J. A. Rueda, R. Moradi +12

We motivate how the most recent progress in the understanding the nature of the GeV radiation in most energetic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the binary-driven hypernovae (BdHNe), has l…

On the ultra-relativistic Prompt Emission (UPE), the Hard and Soft X-ray Flares, and the extended thermal emission (ETE) in GRB 151027A

R. Ruffini, L. Becerra, C. L. Bianco +12

We analyze GRB 151027A within the binary-driven hypernova (BdHN) approach, with progenitor a carbon-oxygen core on the verge of a supernova (SN) explosion and a binary companion ne…

Nonlinear QED effects in X-ray emission of pulsars

Soroush Shakeri, Mansour Haghighat, She-Sheng Xue

In the presence of strong magnetic fields near pulsars, the QED vacuum becomes a birefringent medium due to nonlinear QED interactions. Here, we explore the impact of the effective…

Early X-ray Flares in GRBs

R. Ruffini, Y. Wang, Y. Aimuratov +17

We analyze the early X-ray flares in the GRB "flare-plateau-afterglow" (FPA) phase observed by Swift-XRT. The FPA occurs only in one of the seven GRB subclasses: the binary-driven…

Generation of circular polarization of gamma ray bursts

S. Batebi, R. Mohammadi, R. Ruffini +2

The generation of the circular polarization of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) photons is discussed in this paper via their interactions with astroparticles in the presence or absence of bac…

Cosmic absorption of ultra high energy particles

R. Ruffini, G. V. Vereshchagin, S. -S. Xue

This paper summarizes the limits on propagation of ultra high energy particles in the Universe, set up by their interactions with cosmic background of photons and neutrinos. By tak…

High-energy neutrino emission in gravitational collapses

Ehsan Bavarsad, She-Sheng Xue

In this article, we present a study of high-energy neutrino emission in gravitational collapse. A compact star is treated as a complete degenerate Fermi gas of neutrons, protons an…

Neutrinos decoupled from -processes and supernova explosion

R. Mohammadi, Remo Ruffini, She-Sheng Xue

Based on the gravitational collapse time-scale is larger than the weak interaction time-scale at core densities , we approximately use the -equilibriu…

Electron and positron pair production of compact stars

Wen-Biao Han, Remo Ruffini, She-Sheng Xue

Neutral stellar core at or over nuclear densities is described by a positive charged baryon core and negative charged electron fluid since they possess different masses and interac…

The Blackholic energy and the canonical Gamma-Ray Burst IV: the "long", "genuine short" and "fake - disguised short" GRBs

Remo Ruffini, Alexey G. Aksenov, Maria Grazia Bernardini +13

(Shortened) [...] After recalling the basic features of the "fireshell model", we emphasize the following novel results: 1) the interpretation of the X-ray flares in GRB afterglows…

The canonical Gamma-Ray Bursts: long, "fake"-"disguised" and "genuine" short bursts

Remo Ruffini, Alexey Aksenov, Maria Grazia Bernardini +7

The Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) offer the unprecedented opportunity to observe for the first time the blackholic energy extracted by the vacuum polarization during the process of gravi…

The canonical Gamma-Ray Bursts and their "precursors"

Remo Ruffini, Alexey G. Aksenov, Maria Grazia Bernardini +7

The fireshell model for Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) naturally leads to a canonical GRB composed of a proper-GRB (P-GRB) and an afterglow. P-GRBs, introduced by us in 2001, are sometime…
