Rebrightening in GRBs by Precessing Jet

Abstract

A clear gamma polarization in the gamma signals from GRB021206 probes the presence of a very thin collimated jet (opening angle Deltaθ< 0.6^o, (DeltaΩ)Ω< 2.5 10^-5) in Gamma Ray Burst, GRBs. The last and well proved GRB030329/SN2003dh time and space coincidence confirms definitively the earliest GRB980425/SN1998bw connection among GRB and Supernova. The apparent extreme GRBs luminosity is just the extreme beamed blazing gamma Jet observed in axis during a Supernova birth. The late relic GRBs sources may be found in compact SNRs core, as NS or BH jets; at much later epoch, their lower power gamma jets may be within detectability only from nearby galactic distances, as Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) or anomalous X-ray Pulsars, AXPs. This common Jet nature explain some connection between GRBs and SGRs spectra. The geometrical multi-precessing beaming and their reappearance to the observer may explain the puzzling presence of X-Ray precursors in GRBs as well as in SGRs. A mysterious re-brightening afterglows observed in early and late GRB 030329 optical transient, like in the 27 August 1998 and 18 April 2001 SGR 1900+14 events, might be understood as the damped oscillatory imprint left by such a multi-precessing gamma-X-Optical and Radio Jet.

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.
