Puzzling afterglow's oscillations in GRBs and SGRs: tails of precessing Jets

Abstract

Damped oscillating afterglows in GRB 030329 and in SGR 1900+14 find a natural explanation in precessing gamma Jet model for both GRBs and SGRs. The very thin Jet cone (solid angle ratio Delta Omega/Omega less or near 10^{-8}) combines at once the Supernova power and the apparent huge GRBs output: {dE/dt}_{GRBs} comparable to {dE/dt}_{SN}* Omega/(Delta Omega), leading to a better understanding of their remarkable GRB-Super Nova connection shown in early GRB980425/SN1998bw event and in most recent GRB030329/SN2003dh one. The same thin beaming offer a understanding of the apparent SGR-X-Pulsar power connection: {dE/dt}_{SGRs} comparable to {dE/dt}_{Xpuls}*Omega/(Delta Omega). The precessing Jet model for both GRBs and SGRs, at their different luminosity,explains the existence of a few identical energy spectra and time evolution of these two sources leading to their unified understanding. The spinning-precessing Jet explains the rare mysterious X-Ray precursors in GRBs and SGRs. The Multi-precessing Jet at peak activity in all band may explain the puzzling X or optical re-brightening bumps found in last GRB030329 and earliest SGR 1900+ 14 on 27 August 1998 and on 18 April 2001, as well as the multi-bump radio light-curve observed in GRB980425 and GRB030329. Rarest micro-quasars in our galaxy as SS433, and Herbig Haro objects describe these thin precessing Jet imprint in their 3D relic nebulae shapes.

Cosmic Conundrums with Quantum Corrections

Darh energy was discovered over 25 years ago and we do not have an explanation of it. Dark matter comprises 95% of matter in the universe and we still don't know what it is. The Webb telescope has been finding fully formed galaxies with massive black holes millions of times the mass of the sun in the early universe and we don't have any explanation. A quantum density limitation will be used to solve these and other outstanding problems.

On binary pulsars and the force of gravity

The energy-momentum budget of the astrophysical systems can be studied by the exact local conservation equation derived by Landau and Lifshitz. We show that a similar equation is valid for the Einstein-Cartan gravity. We reanalyze a binary pulsar system using the Landau-Lifshitz conservation equation and show that the orbital period change rate can be completely understood as a curvature backreaction process. Taking into account the detailed theoretical and observational research of relativistic binary pulsar systems, especially the system of Hulse and Taylor, we conclude that general relativity and astrophysical observations rule out the existence of gravitational radiation. We comment upon the LIGO GW events and their alternative explanation, as well as the recent pulsar timing arrays data.

Oscillation frequencies and mode lifetimes in alpha Centauri A

We analyse our recently-published velocity measurements of alpha Cen A (Butler et al. 2004). After adjusting the weights on a night-by-night basis in order to optimize the window function to minimize sidelobes, we extract 42 oscillation frequencies with l=0 to 3 and measure the large and small frequency separations. We give fitted relations to these frequencies that can be compared with theoretical models and conclude that the observed scatter about these fits is due to the finite lifetimes of the oscillation modes. We estimate the mode lifetimes to be 1-2 d, substantially shorter than in the Sun.
