Obs., 2005, 59, 5-16 | Subject: | astro-ph | Abstract: | Typical observational gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra are discussed and, in this connection, what is the origin of the compactness problem and how it was solved at first. If the threshold for $e^{-}e^{+}$ pair production depends on an angle between photon momenta, then another solution of the compactness problem is possible. We discuss a possibility of the $gamma$-rays collimation and the dependence of photon beaming on photon energies. The list of basic assumptions of the scenario describing the GRB source with energy $< 10^{49}$ ergs are adduced: the matter is about an alternative to the ultrarelativistic fireball if {it all} long-duration GRBs are related or physically connected with {it normal/unpeculiar} core-collapse supernovae (SNe). Namely, we consider the questions about radiation pressure and how the jet arises on account of even small asymmetry of the radiation field in a compact GRB source. The possibility of a new approach to explanation of GRB phenomenon is shown. Possible mechanisms of their generation in regions of size $< 10^8$cm are discussed (a compact model of GRBs). Observational consequences of the compact GRB energy release are considered. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0410350 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
