Gamma ray burst model [electronic resource]

We present a model for gamma ray bursts based on the compression of neutron stars in close binary systems. Our general relativistic hydrodynamiccomputer simulations of close neutron star binaries have found that as the orbit shrinks the density of the neutron stars rises. This compressional effect h...

520 3 |a We present a model for gamma ray bursts based on the compression of neutron stars in close binary systems. Our general relativistic hydrodynamiccomputer simulations of close neutron star binaries have found that as the orbit shrinks the density of the neutron stars rises. This compressional effect has been estimated to produce thermal energies in the neutron stars of the order of magnitude 10⁵²to 10⁵³ ergs on a timescale of a few seconds.This is a possible source of energy for gamma-ray bursts. The hot neutron stars will emit neutrino pairs which will partially recombine to form an electron positron pair plasma. The pair plasma will recombine after expansion to produce photons which closely mimic the characteristics of gamma-raybursts.
