Oscillating structure of \gamma-bursts and their possible origin
As it is well-known that the hydrodinamic collapse of the massive star iron
core should lead to the production of a hot neutron star. The assumption is
made that the thermonuclear burning of the envelope matter, accreting onto the
hot neutron star, can proceed in the oscillatoric regime (analogously to that
happens during heat explosion of the carbon-oxigene cores of stars with smaller
masses). Local density oscillations in the vicinity of the neutron star surface
can generate shock waves, in which the stratification of the electron-positron
plasma from the rest of the matter can happen due to the light preasure. In the
case of the spherically symmetric collapse of the compact star it can lead to
the production of the expanding relativistic fireball shells with
characteristic oscillation time of ~ 10^{-2} s, observed in the cosmological
\gamma-bursts (GRB), can occur. It is pointed out that nonrotating massive
Wolf-Rayet's (WR) stars could be the source for the GRB, whose collapses,
according to a number of observations, can happen without any noticeable
ejection of the envelope.Comment: 11 pages, latex-file, 2 eps figure
