Vacuum polarization and plasma oscillations

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

We evidence the existence of plasma oscillations of electrons-positron pairs created by the vacuum polarization in an uniform electric field with E < Ec. Our general treatment, enc…

The Blackholic energy and the canonical Gamma-Ray Burst

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +9

We outline the main results of our GRB model, based on the three interpretation paradigms we proposed in July 2001, comparing and contrasting them with the ones in the current lite…

The role of GRB 031203 in clarifying the astrophysical GRB scenario

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +7

The luminosity and the spectral distribution of the afterglow of GRB 031203 have been presented within our theoretical framework, which envisages the GRB structure as composed by a…

GRB 050315: A step toward the uniqueness of the overall GRB structure and the true nature of long GRBs

Remo Ruffini, Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco +4

Using the Swift data of GRB 050315, we progress on the uniqueness of our theoretically predicted Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) structure as composed by a proper-GRB (P-GRB), emitted at the…

GRB970228 as a prototype for short GRBs with afterglow

Maria Grazia Bernardini, Carlo Luciano Bianco, Letizia Caito +7

GRB970228 is analyzed as a prototype to understand the relative role of short GRBs and their associated afterglows, recently observed by Swift and HETE-II. Detailed theoretical com…

Equations of motion, initial and boundary conditions for GRB

Carlo Luciano Bianco, Remo Ruffini, Gregory Vereshchagin +1

We compare and contrast the different approaches to the optically thick adiabatic phase of GRB all the way to the transparency. Special attention is given to the role of the rate e…
