A Complete Survey of the Transient Radio Sky and Implications for Gamma-Ray Bursts, Supernovae, and other Relativistic Explosions
Avishay Gal-Yam, Eran O. Ofek, Dovi Poznanski +7
We had previously reported on a survey for radio transients, used to set an upper limit on the number of orphan gamma-ray burst (GRB) radio afterglows, and thus a lower limit on th…
The gravitational-wave spectrum of a non-axisymmetric torus around a rapidly spinning black hole
Omer Bromberg, Amir Levinson, Maurice van Putten
The gravitational-wave spectrum emitted by a non-axisymmetric torus rotating at an angular velocity , is derived in terms of a structure function representing a combination of…
The Difference Between the Amati and Ghirlanda Relations
Amir Levinson, David Eichler
It is pointed out that the beaming correction commonly inferred from the achromatic breaks in the afterglow light curve is biased in situations where the isotropic equivalent energ…
Large-Amplitude, Pair-Creating Oscillations in Pulsar and Black Hole Magnetospheres
Amir Levinson, Don Melrose, Alex Judge +1
A time-dependent model for pair creation in a pulsar magnetosphere is developed. It is argued that the parallel electric field that develops in a charge-starved region (a gap) of a…
Energy Extraction from a Kerr Black Hole - An Ultimate Power Source in the Universe?
Amir Levinson
It is widely believed that some classes of high-energy transients may be powered by the rotational energy of a rapidly spinning black hole. The energy extraction mechanism commonly…
