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…

Quark-nova explosion inside a collapsar: application to Gamma Ray Bursts
Rachid Ouyed, Denis Leahy, Jan Staff +1
If a quark-nova occurs inside a collapsar, the interaction between the quark-nova ejecta (relativistic iron-rich chunks) and the collapsar envelope, leads to features indicative of…
